Don't get fooled by the pictures
We booked with a last minute deal for 2 nights. We expected the property to be at least clean and fully functional.
Right from the checkin process(unlocking the door was super complicated). The property was not clean(food stains in refrigerator, unwashed lines folded in the closet, used clothes all around). Most of the doors in the kitchen cupboard are locked and the dishes handle was broken too. Property is as it was in the pictures but wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Fun decor
The house was just what we needed, especially being able to bring the dog. The decor themes made us smile.
