Has potential
First night not good. Bed post collapsed, back bed room would not cool so our guests moved out to a hotel, live and dead roaches spotted, and back room had a strong order of mildew. Owners corrected the cooling problem and broken bed promptly after being notified the next day. This is a five bedroom house not six as advertised. This place has the potential for being much better. Floors, dishes, and bathrooms were not very clean.
