Jul 31, 2024 Liked: Check-in #### Not what we expected The house was very warm when we arrived. The AC was individual units and they were off. The batteries in the remotes for the AC had to be replaced. There were ants in the bathroom and elsewhere in the house that we ended up spraying for. The bed was very hard. The dial on the dryer was missing. ##### Doug Z.
