The location is lovely. I had hoped for a lovely stay like our stays elsewhere have been. However, the home had not been maintained, despite it being the home the hosts usually live in. These issues would not have been solved by a typical weekly clean from a cleaner.
For example, the air conditioners blew dust all around the house until we realized that their filters needed cleaning since they were actually blowing air through layers of dust and pet dander. Bathrooms had significant mold that needed cleaning simply to feel comfortable bathing. The fridge had expired food and medications, as well as mold. This is not the full list of concerns, but meant to help explain the concerns.
We had booked for five adults over the Christmas period and would have been stuck without a place to stay all together if we had cancelled. Future guests will benefit from us cleaning for four days of our holiday.
