Property does not have air conditioning

We booked this property for my wife’s 40th birthday for three nights but left after the first night. This is advertised as having air conditioning but there is none. With temperatures in the 90’s during the day the house stayed miserably hot all night. We decided we couldn’t take two more nights of it so we packed up and left. Also the outside was covered in thick coats of spider webs and the kitchen cookware and bathroom drawers had an accumulation of mouse droppings. It was as if no one had been to the property in months to clean.
Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024
