6/10 Okay

Gloria M.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
This was a really old cottage that had been given a superficial make over. It was on a dusty unpaved road in a low income area and had a safety issue with a small step down between the house and the only bathroom. My son got up to use the bathroom in the night and tripped and nearly fell. He has a big bruise but it could have been worse. Also the check out required us to pretty much leave the place fully cleaned which I have never experienced with previous bookings. It was very overpriced for what it is. I had assumed that the price included the pet but found out it didn't and was charged an additional 120.00. It was reasonably clean but tacky and exposed plumbing in the bathroom as well as instructions to conserve water, strip beds and put them in the washer when leaving. Wouldn't recommend this place.
