Inside, the house smelled of mold and mildew. The dishes, cookware, and coffee maker were filthy. The back porch had no furniture, the BBQ was broken and grimy, and the fire pit didn’t exist. The fireplace was chained up, despite being listed as a feature.The host’s communication was unhelpful. When I asked about the missing TV remote, I was told to use the side buttons — but the TV didn’t work. A dining chair was broken, almost causing a fall.
