May 27, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Fam get away photos are deceiving bushes and walkways are overgrown with shrub making climb up stairs to front door (only access) difficult. Nest thermostat broken keeps turning air on so cold in home would not stay off even if programed to. Kitchen is not as big as it appears. We had to vacuum floors and clean dishes before using facility. Beds where very comfortable, but would've liked a flat sheet to use on top of body instead of comforter as I'm pretty sure they dont wash bedspread comforter after each renter. Yuk. The house has a good floorplan, just needs quite a bit of TLC ##### Jennifer W.
