Liked: Check-in, communication, location

Wonderful home but really has a lot of neglected maintenance. Overgrown yard, windows all need cleaning. Dog hair everywhere on carpets and floors. Driveway seriously eroded. Outdoor area and furniture need deep cleaning and pressure washed. Great location and very well designed home.
