The gardens and deck patio area need to be trimmed and cleaned up. Kitchen/cooking area countertop was kinda dirty and large oven was dirty.

Feb 15, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Not impressed The sidewalk leading up to the door was not shoveled well enough for someone with crutches or a boot or even myself to walk. It look like somebody Took a small shovel and tried to make a path in the grass but not on the sidewalk. The steps leading up to the door and the front step are extremely slippery and not cleaned off. We did not arrive until after three. Someone else’s shower supplies were still left in the shower the shower seat was still wet. On the floor next to the bed by the dresser was a can of pepper and a dryer sheet. The room is extremely hot. The bathroom is so extremely hot it was hard to shower and get ready the next day. . The common area was so cold we could hardly sit out there and watch TV.. The people that stayed in the room above us we’re not considerate of people be in the house below them. I know it was Valentine’s Day weekend and this is something that you can’t help but please remind people when there are other people in the house to make sure you walk through the house with your clothes on, and not have sex until 3:00 in the morning and big things on the floor all night long. As well as playing music. Be considerate of your surroundings. We were very unsatisfied which is heartbreaking because this was the first time we have been able to get out of our house since my husband had his accident at work last September with an amputation. This was our very first VRBO. Makes me skeptic I’m getting another ##### Robert P.
