This property needs serious updating. Everything was shabby. The slider barely locked, the screen door didn’t. There were cob webs in the slider jam. I had to have housekeeping come back in and vacuum. There was a pedestal sink. I had nowhere to place my things. I was not treated with a friendly manner. We got ice cream from the “store” it had been melted. It was so loud, I kept getting woken up.
