Property w/potential but.......

Overall, property presented differently than what we found when we checked in. Property owner was communicative but concerns not addressed. Mold in many ceiling vents. Island lights flickered at high position. Internet/TV not working. Smoke detectors located in dresser drawer in kitchen. We were informed of water damage to roof w/repairs prior to arrival. No evidence seen. AC filter obviously not cleaned recently & AC plugged into strip not the wall. Owner stated took over property in Jan and we were 2nd guest to stay. He said property in process of repairs but this VRBO user under impression that said repairs (not storm related) need to be completed prior to listing this property. Owner did refund 20% of total charge. This guest is disappointed with this amount and feel all but the cleaning fee should have been refunded for the numerous (and admitted) issues. Pictures of black mold spots in kitchen ceiling vents clearly show a potential health issue, not including the safety issues with non functional smoke detectors and AC electric supply.
