The place has good potential but is not well maintained. When we entered, there was the smell of cigar smoke with a burn on the ottoman and the couch is badly stained. There is mold around the bathtub and around the floor boards in the living room. The entire place needs to be painted.
The kitchen is nice but there are no extras - wine glasses, extra towels or tissues. Also, no instructions for departure regarding trash, linens, etc.
The most disappointing aspect was not getting a return phone call from Gia after leaving a message when we were having issues with the front door. We have always had excellent communication with our hosts in the past so we know this is unusual.
