Hi Kelly, we are glad that you had good weekend. We didn't wont to take extra money from your bond but we were very disappointment how the house has been left. You found our house clean and tidy when you checked in. As you know we don't charge extra money for the cleaning but we had to pay to our cleaner extra $40 on top we played her. She had to wash one sheet from the single bunk bed that was dirty. You didn't use your own. The fridge wasn't cleaned and wood box wasn't load before you left. We expect from our guests to follow the house rules and respect our effort to make the house clean and comfortable for everybody. You have little kids and that is the reason we didn't wont to take those $40 from your bond.
