negative:

Property could be cleaner

Guests haven't always found this property as clean as it should be. Reported problems include thick dust, stained carpets, and damp smells. Not all guests have felt disappointed but enough have to make you think that a deep clean could be in order.

negative:

Dated appearance

In addition to a lack of deep cleaning, it also appears that the property hasn't seen any updates for a while. As a result, you may find that the overall appearance of the property is rather dated with some rather glaring maintenance issues.

Some difficulties with essentials
