This experience left my wife and myself so upset: Upon entering the home we immediately noticed the house was not cleaned. The floors were not swept, and so dirty your feet would turn black instantly walking on them. You could feel the caked on grime/dirt on the floors alone. They have never seen a mop. Bedding was not washed, people's hair/face grease visibly caked on pillow shams. By the first night, not only did we find that this place is insanely infested with roaches, but we heard crawling and the sounds of claws scratching inside the walls near the vents. We contacted our host, pest control was supposed to come but never did. Baby roaches crawling on the walls, ceilings, bedding, floors, cabinets, dishes: you name it: INFESTED. We eventually left at 3am due to having roaches crawling on us and our baby in bed. We are still waiting for a resolution for this. My wife and I are so upset as this trip was for our 5 year anniversary. Propery is beautiful, but UNSANITARY. Such a shame.
