    “The property although lovely could do with new flooring in the bedroom near the bathroom, there were a lot of stains on the carpet.”

    The kitchen had tiles coming off at the back of the cooker and the kick boards were worn in places. There were what appeared to be squashed bugs on some ceilings and walls. In general just a bit run down. Having said that the hot tub was kept clean, oven immaculate as were beds and bathrooms.
