The pictures of the property advertised were very misleading. The lack of cleanliness in the kitchen drawers, soiled blankets & cushions, was disappointing. Backyard full of bindis and old cigarette butts. I was definitely overcharged and would lower my standards of staying there. The company have not been supported of my experience & refused to refund me. Offering a 10% discount or voucher for next time. No thank you!
