Very disappointed with this stay due to poor maintenance and automated communication. Broken Fixtures: Both the towel racks and toilet paper holders were broken upon arrival.Unusable Wi-Fi: The internet was broken, making it impossible to get any work done.Bad Water Quality: The water had a horrible, muddy odor and smelled strongly of rusted pipes.Ruined Amenities: The foul water smell made showering and cooking highly unpleasant.Automated Responses: Reaching out to the host felt like texting an AI bot rather than a helpful human.I cannot recommend this property until serious plumbing and maintenance upgrades are made.
