This property needs attention, there is plenty of parking spaces, the check in process was very easy by following instructions in the email, I opened the door and the house is soooo stinky and dirty, the pillows and doonas smell so ugly, the windows are all dirty, kitchen had essential appliances for our stay.
I used the vaccum that was in the built in wardrobe and it started making the worst smell that wouldn't go away no matter what, as if there is a dead rat inside it.
The stick vaccum was nothing better, I used it and couldn't empty it.
The shower didn't have screen on one side and all the water keeps going on the floor, the bath mat is useless there.
Bugs were everywhere, even when we're sleeping, the tiny flies are all over the place.
I don't think its fair that such property is being rented out in such conditions, I really didn't enjoy my stay.
