The location in Germantown is great, with walking distance proximity to cafes, bars, restaurants, parks, etc. We admired some of the charm in this restored house, such as the original hardwood floors, glass door knobs, etc. The updated HVAC worked very well. However, the bathroom is just the opposite. I was scalded by the shower, which after running a minute at the proper temp turned super hot. When we called the host, she agreed it is a problem, said "it's old," and referred us to the info book in the living room. We did not know it was there. A note on the bathroom wall is needed. But even the instruction about the shower was inadequate. The instant water heater is great, but way too hot, given the danger of the inadequate controls. Given the cost of the unit, the owner needs to install a new water control valve and shower diverter.When I also mentioned excessive black mold in the tile grout, the owner sent her maintenance man to spray it. Whatever he used was ineffective, even after he scrubbed it. I recommended full strength beach or Tilex. He came back later and it helped, but the mold did not totally disappear. A simple retiling is needed. And perhaps the painted-over wall light above the sink could be replaced. One additional observation: Although the description of the kitchen does not include garbage disposal or dishwasher, it would be better if the list specifically said "no garbage disposal" and "no dishwasher."
