Oct 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So much potential Our beds were cheap, thin, and uncomfortable. The piece of metal stripping between the carpet and kitchen floor was bent up and not safe if someone stepped or tripped on it. We put the trash can on top of it. The door lining was off some.
