Liked: Cleanliness
The host did not appear. Great location with beds & baths for all 9 of us. The pool was wonderful: good size & the heat was turned up when we asked. The house itself could use an update & feels a little worn.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This property has been badly neglected and is WAY overpriced. The water supply is contaminated by corroded iron pipes that leach heavy metals into the water. A plumber sent by the host told us not to drink the water. Where to start: leaking roof, broken disposal, broken dishwasher, barely flushing toilets, clouded windows, rotted wood frames, no pool tops or supplies, no outdoor grill (broken), no fire pit (chimenea broken), termites, and roaches. This was the most disappointing stay ever. The Grand Welcome manager was useless and did not acknowledge our issues.
