    “Description of steps was incorrect it was steep stairs and was conveniently not shown in picture.”

    Oven had not been cleaned. The carpet at bedroom door was turned up and a trip hazard. The sink in the bathroom leaked badly. PAT testing was out of date. When I telephoned on arrival and asked to be relocated I was told could not be done because property owner was first priority. Customer satisfaction does not seem to matter.
