This house is adorable, looks clean and appears freshly renovated and if it were a block off its current location (on one of the busiest east-west streets in town) it would be much better. Due to the age of the house, you hear the traffic sounds constantly, the music of every car, etc.Thankfully, school is not in session or there would have been the high school traffic that is two blocks away as well as the JUCO traffic that is about 4 blocks away. I would not have booked this if I could have seen the address of the house before booking.
I booked this because my motorhome was in the shop and I needed a pet friendly location and this was the only one available at the last minute.
When I opened the door, the ammonia/urine smell hit me straight away. Every time I breathed through my nose for the first two days, it hit me again. After 48 hours of the air conditioner running non stop, it finally started to subside a little. I think the lower humidity in the house helped, but it was still present. They obviously know it smells as they have air purifiers running in every room as well as a wall plug in and the jars that are supposed to absorb odors.
It appears that the carpet has been replaced fairly recently, but I'm not sure if they didn't replace the pad or if they didn't seal the subfloor. Pet urine is definitely a smell that requires more than just replacing the flooring. For a pet friendly house, I was shocked to see carpet in almost every room in the house.
