Disappointed
House was clean and presented well , however couldn’t lock front door (lock broken) did email to report no one followed up, Tv could be watched for any longer than 5-10 mins as internet dropped out constantly, no flyscreen on back bedroom,aircon not adequate for the house , home was a hot box , backyard messy and overgrown with wood laying around,not worth the money .Left early more comfortable at home
