We never did meet Raul, but my husband spoke to him on the phone several times. We were disappointed that the oven, dishwasher, and original microwave did not work (he had replaced the microwave with a counter-top model). Also, the water and ice did not work on the refrigerator. Raul claimed that the water in Las Vegas was no good (that was his excuse for not hooking the refrigerator up), but it tasted fine to us.

Because of the lack of dishwasher we were afraid to use any dishes without washing, and the kitchen utensil drawers were dirty with crumbs. So after washing everything we planned to use (due to the lack of dishwasher), and had cleaned out the drawers, we felt better.

There are only three forks, although he did supply plastic and foam plates for our use.

The floors looked clean, but my husband's feet were black after walking around the first day with bare feet, so we washed the floors.

The place looks nice and was quiet unless you opened a window or the sliding doors. Then there is a lot of street noise.l

In March the pool is closed.

Raul did send a repair man to fix the oven, but as we had family in town that I wanted to cook for it was too late for us.

It is time Raul replaced the appliances especially the dishwasher.

We have a vacation rental in WA State, and all he needs to do is update a couple of appliances and provide some silverware and the place would be a lot better. Most of all though the place needs to be very clean.
