Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication
The house is nicely decorated a has been newly renovated. There were no face clothes or hand towels. The fridge had spills from other guests and the coffee pot had old grinds in it. The garbage can at the road was ovetflowing and the grass has not been cut in a long time. The bed was comfy and clean , but happy to stay only one night.
