"We were told the house was “cleaned” the day before we arrived. NOT TRUE. There was a dead misuse in the basement along with a bunch of filthy towels. The backdoor didn’t lock. The TV didn’t work. There was a used paper towel roll for use to use. We had the house for two days but left after the first night, the following morning as I was packing I saw a mouse run under the stove. Never again"
