Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
This property is old, and not well maintained. I wish I could get a refund! The description does not tell you it is off two very noisy highways. The description does not tell you that the pull out sofa has a very dirty mattress pad The description does not tell you that the plastic shades are torn so that light comes through. The description does not tell you that the pull out sofa gets stuck, and when you call the host they do not go and fix it until you ask them a second time. The description does not tell you the shower curtain has orange mold on the bottom. The description does not tell you the picnic table outside is unusable because when it is windy the cheap rug under the table folds up and there is broken concrete underneath. The description does not tell you that both beds are very hard. The description does not tell you that the exit and entrance have fussy cameras and you have to get in just the right spot for the gate to open very, very slowly. The description does not tell you that the photos on the website are in its hey day when the place was in great shape, and they had not yet built two major highways around the place so when you wake up you hear traffic and see it from this balcony. Does not tell you the outdoor chair cushions are so dirty you won't want to sit on the porch anyway! All in all, this place was a disappointment, the description of how to get to this cabin was very confusing. The price was reasonable but I would never ever recommend this place!
