We have stayed in many rentals throughout the past several years and this was by far the worst. It was not cleaned properly ( ie bathroom trash from previous guests still in the bin, coffee trash from previous guest still in the coffee machine and not properly disposed of, bathroom/toilet was dirty, etc) When you can easily see what hasn’t been cleaned , you are left with no choice but to assume there are things you can’t see that haven’t been cleaned. I would not recommend staying here. We have asked for a refund with no response. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f1fd6888-073e-46ed-b3a3-6f91dbcfc04a-1759678568033.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d48065a5-f8e6-4509-b1e4-69d493ef1081-1759678569267.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ac562eb5-2086-4f8f-9111-4d8c4796f295-1759678569283.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/adb4bca4-18ef-4be9-b3d7-174a4acd5e9a-1759678568693.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kate and Ivan J.
