Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
This home was in complete disrepair, like no one had been in the place for weeks. The water did not work for several hours so we had to use pool water to flush. No drinking water in the desert. Dishwasher is broken, dryer hose disconnected, shower not working, electric flickering, window treatment fell and nearly hit one of the kids. The advertisement for the property said that the pool was heated - it wasn’t heated. We couldn’t use the pool. And the list goes on. I don’t expect perfection but you should be embarrassed to represent this property.
