Big and beautiful garden. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Fresh linen.Overall cleanliness was not good. Front entrance and decks were full of leaves at arrival. Kitchen floor and stove knobs sticky. Kitchen cabinet and fridge filled with a lot of food. All already expired. Used underwear in bedroom cabinet. BBQ dirty with no .cleaning equipment available.Very strange that there are no garbage bins outside. All garbage must be brought to the local refuse station. ##### Ingo D.
