Summary: We found the house very dirty. The property is very tired and needs a pretty hefty remodel. The risers in the upstairs bedrooms are very dangerous. One person in our group tripped on It and broke her wrist. I notified the owner but had no response. I will be back in touch with the owner over this accident and will file a claim. There was no internet, but said it did in the listing, so therefore, there was no television. For the price we paid, I was very disappointed and I would not rent this property again.
