This person got an entire brand new built house for a fraction of the price and gives a 3 start review. They left a total mess and didn’t follow directions on putting trash in appropriate receptacles and animals got into it. We provided croissants and coffee and cocoa along with a spotless house with treats and they were somehow not happy.
