Alison called me on the phone the following day of my arrival and said, “one of the things I asked you to do was pull your car all the way forward so I could get my car out”. Of note, this was in the house rules, not a previous conversation or an ongoing issue. I stated to her that I thought I did pull my car all the way up, and it was very hard to see how far I could pull up because there was no lighting in the driveway; or the stairs to climb up to the entrance, for that matter. Importantly, I arrived at night. In reference to the no lighting Alison said, “I am having some electrical problems”. I had to pull underneath branches to be up far enough for her to get her car out. She knew this because she was there watching.
The pillows were extremely dirty/stained (not washed in a long time), one of the shades was stained (possibly water damage), the dish strainer was rusty, the mattress cover was stained (not washed in a long time), the blanket was stained (not washed in a long time).
When I told Alison how filthy the bedding was she said, “I have never had a complaint before”. I suggested she come in and look at the bedding for herself. She said ,“I don’t think we are understanding each other”. Then got in her car and left.
As far as my rating of location one star, when I came back on my second night there was a rat eating garbage that was all of the ground across the very narrow street.
