The property was beautiful! I think, however, that some things had been kind of quickly glossed over by the cleaning crew: The toilet paper holder had been broken and had been propped into the mechanism so that it would look like it was all in one piece; The door to where the brooms are kept was off it's top hinge and had to be propped into the door jam; The coffee grounds hadn't been dumped after the last guest and were molding.…The property was beautiful!
