The property is beautiful. Many upgrades have been made to the house.Unfortunately, the furniture (especially the couch and the beds) aren’t even “garage sale” quality.(Funny; we owned the exact same red couch 20 yrs ago).If you’re there while it’s cool, no problem. But if you need the ceiling fans they’ll keep you up all night (old, small and Loud).The host; let’s just say that in 40 short term rentals in the past 7 years, this was by far our worst experience!
