Disliked: Cleanliness
While the home was very cute. I thought I was getting a place with a kitchen table and two twin beds in one bedroom. Unfortunately it was a bar with bar stools and bunk beds. The place really needs a deep clean. The place has a funky smell, there were cobwebs in the living area, the top bunk smells awful. All the mattresses were very uncomfortable. We were all fighting on who got to sleep on the couch.
