The property had dust everywhere, bed headboards, baseboards, trims. The window AC was dusty, and very loud. My husband had to turn it off to get to sleep. As a result it was very warm. The entrance to the property was unkept, dust and dirt on floor. Our departure morning my husband saw some sort of bug, I’ve never seen one like it before. I would not stay there again
