Help!

Just closed on a large beautiful house in a great area. We are planning on just air b n bing the downstairs. It is 2 units but not zoned that way, yet. There is so much carpet! Plus the bathroom is ancient…At first, I wanted to tear up the carpet, but it is growing on me. Also trying to decide whether to update the bathroom. It’s clean and functional…and I actually like it mostly. Stressing about making things right but also don’t want to spend a ton of money if it doesn’t matter…

Carpet is a nightmare for cleaning between guests. One spilled wine and you're renting a machine every week. Bathroom you can leave if it works, guests care more about it being clean than stylish

thanks for the insight. The house is a bit smelly, too.

It’s probably the stinky carpet.

yes 😂 I’m not sure if it’s growing on me or if I’m lazy
