Aug 10, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy Newly updated and looked just like the pictures. However, there was a strong odor of mildew throughout the lower level that they tried to cover up by having multiple plug in air fresheners. There was a problem with bugs in the kitchen (even found a bug inside the microwave)and in the large bedroom upstairs. It is advertised as having air conditioning, but it is only in the bedrooms. The days we were visiting, the temperatures were in the upper 80's and lower 90's. The thermostat read 88 degrees in the main part of the unit at one point. There was a leak under the kitchen sink, and inadequate window coverings. Up stairs bathroom had no curtain and lower bedroom only had a sheer in the window. ##### Janet B.
