First host doesn’t get back to you for days, no phone number only email. First night the grill had no propane emailed host about a backup…no response had to cook hot dogs and burgers in a pan. Not enough paper supplies. Had to go and buy paper towels and garbage bags. Then the ceiling started leaking in the kitchen from bathroom above it. Two weeks later and now they’re trying to get the security deposit! Unreal.. ##### george l.
