Alicia D.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The house smelled of mold. The smell hit you right as you entered. The master bath smelled of urine. It was disgusting! The furniture was filthy. I had a hard time being in the house it was so gross. One shower did not work. The outside of the house was covered in mold. With that said, the location was great. I would rent on this road again but never this house.
