Mar 2, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### In 1 word Unkempt Went with my best friends , visiting from overseas. The carport looked like a junkyard. There were cobwebs outside and inside the rooms with spiders.The bathrooms wouldn’t drain , dirty piles of blankets, kitchen and microwave so dirty with a lot of expired and spoilt food inside, all furniture fully covered in dirt, and the floors not vacuumed for a long time .We couldn’t lock the doors when we went inside. For the amount of money I paid, I expected at least clean linen for the 4 people I booked for. I will definitely not recommend this property to anyone , unless the place gets a thorough cleaning and makeover. ##### Deepa B. Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cath G.
