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

Hello, thanks for your feedback.
We asked the cleaner to look into your comments after you left the home and she noted the garden was not over grown. Internet can be very patchy as the home is on an Island. We have followed up with the Aircon and door lock.
