Disappointed
The pictures did not accurately capture the property. While the kitchen in the main house and the studio were recently updated, the remainder of the property needed work: the carpet in all the bedrooms and the rug in the living area were dirty and stained, chairs in the living area had dirty spots, the blinds in one of the bedrooms was broken, there were stains on one of the bed pillows and the microwave was dirty. We were very disappointed and would not recommend this property until the issues are addressed.
