Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### William G. 18 Aug 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Get what you pay for Cheap. Needs work. TV stand falling apart when we arrived, picture in living area sitting on floor behind the couch, dirty socks, dust bunnies and water bottles under the bed. TV never worked the entire time. 90+ weather with no AC but there was a fan. Supplies like towels, paper towels and toilet tissue very skimpy and no normal supplies like salt, pepper or oil, etc. Host responsive but suggested we go to laundermat and wash the two towels we were provided for 4 nights. I felt like they were afraid we would steal from them. The host did have housekeeper deliver another roll of paper goods and 2 more towels the day before we left. ##### William G.
