Internal of property was fine but outside needed pest control, cleaning of spider webs inside and out. Garden furniture covered in spider webs, decks covered in garden litter and windows/sliding doors needed cleaning. Location great and port so much potential if maintained. If port is looked after by agent I would be changing. If owner won’t spend money to maintain then remove from stayz as I have never stayed in anything as poorly maintained outside. ##### Leanne C.
