6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
We didn't get what we paid for with this one.The spa pool spewed out brown and white goo when we turned on the jets, which mostly went away by next day after a cleaning cycle, but had put us off by that point. The oven wasn't clean, so smoked out the kitchen a bit. Overall it looked like DIY property maintenance.. minor leaks under sinks, warped gates that don't close, bits of plywood tacked up here and there.Travelers should be aware that there is no hot water in the bathroom (except for the shower), no trampoline as listed on bookabach, and you should run a cleaning cycle of the spa as soon as you arrive to avoid any surprises. Be prepared to whip out our phone and document anything that doesn't meet expectations.The manager is a company who add little value to the process - quite the opposite, since they are unable to inspect things themselves. They attempted to mediate but in the end essentially said 'oops sorry' on the listing error and implied we were being untruthful about our other experiences as we didn't have evidence.Apart from the issues above, the property was fine and comfortable.

Misleading advertising so disappointed

The listing is inaccurate there is no spa, the bbq was so rusty we could not use it. The pillows are so lumpy you could not sleep on them. Only two beds were made up for us despite there being 4 people. The listing didn’t say you share the location with the owner.
