Sep 15, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Home Lacked Cleanliness & General Maintenance This home is in an ideal location and has the best stocked kitchen of any home we’ve stayed in over the past few years. Having said that, cleanliness and general maintenance were sub par - the porch light was out, several lamps were either broken or had bulbs blown, hard floors were not swept (long black hair on kitchen floor, q-tips on floor in bathroom), one bathroom had black mold on the shower curtain while the other had black mold on the shower surround, one bed comforter had blood on the comforter and another on a decorative pillow, both bathroom sinks did not drain properly and both toilets had to be flushed twice for even the most basic of functions. This home was clearly not inspected after the previous turnover was completed. ##### Rebecca B.
