Both the kitchen and bathroom were dirty and had only received a superficial clean.. In the kitchen there were bits of food down the side of the cooker and the floor was sticky, while the bathroom had large amounts of dust in the corners. Some things about the house were plain odd, like having to stand on the bed in one of the bedrooms to operate the light switch while there was a fair bit of noise from vehicles passing by, not helped by windows that didn't close. Despite having a combination boiler, at some point in the night the power to it was cut off, meaning no hot water, though it came back on in the morning.
The location was good.
