Bed bugs almost killed me

The property is grossly misrepresented in these photos. Since they have been taken it has been filled with more dust, uncleanliness, junk in the back yard, "collectibles", and bed bugs. My family and I (me worse than them) had an allergic reaction to them and had to spend 4 days of our two week vacation chasing down the problem and finally ended up paying for a doctor as we are Canadians. I almost stopped breathing at one point. He will not return my money as I found out after we got back the cause of my reaction. Continues to ignore my contacts. He also has a piece of junk rover he tried to rent us that broke down the first day which he also tried to avoid giving back our money for. Pretty sure he runs a chop shop in the back of the property as there are multiple cars and junk that fill the backyard as well as two other residents living in trailers. Raccoons frequent the unbelievable amount of garbage. Long story short this place should be condemned and I will be pursuing legal counsel.

some folks try harder than noraml to get a refund, this guest waited two weeks to let me know of there complaint, which leads me to believe they are money backers. thanks for the entertainment.
