Disgusting house with a dead mouse

We were told the house was “cleaned” the day before we arrived. NOT TRUE. There was a dead misuse in the basement along with a bunch of filthy towels. The backdoor didn’t lock. The TV didn’t work. There was a used paper towel roll for use to use. We had the house for two days but left after the first night, the following morning as I was packing I saw a mouse run under the stove. Never again

needs new mattress

The house was clean but 2 things just removed this from my list of locations I would return to. 1. The address is incorrect. They gave us the address to the house next store. Not a nice experience when I opened up the door to see someone was living there. They were very nice about the intrusion and had said we were not the first to show up at their house not the rental next door. 2. The beds were very uncomfortable. I think that is job 1 for a rental. Good mattress. Hope there are some improvements made for the future guests that choose this location
