Summary: I was very disappointed in the condition of the property. The screens were loose letting the lizards in. I was awake mist if the night because I didn’t want one crawling on me. The oven didn’t work so we had to use the microwave. Since it it didn’t crisp the appetizers they were not good to eat.
