Two days prior to our arrival date, we received an email stating we could reach out to the contact person, Denisse, and see if an early check-in was available (regular check-in is at 4pm). I sent a text requesting this and when there was no response, I sent an email. I never heard from Denisse, so I arrived at 4pm. Upon arrival, the front yard needed mowing, there were several pieces of trash in the grass and spider/cob webs all over the front porch. The code emailed to us did not work. I called Denisse and left a voicemail. I then sent her a text, to which she replied, providing us with her code. The cleanliness of the house was okay. I found a broom and swept up food and debris in the area between the dining room and living room. Otherwise, it wasn't too bad.There is quite a bit that needs updating. For instance, the metal baking pan is disgusting with eho knows what is hardened on it, the skillet handle is very loose, the blue living room furniture looks like it came out of a dorm room after several years' usage, the bath mats in the master bath are supposed to be blue but have wear/stain marks where they have been used. I kicked them out of the way and discovered quite a bit of long black hair by the shower.The backyard had seen better days. The grass was grown up and you could tell it never sees a weedeater or edger. There was grass growing over and around a piece of gutter just laying there. The plus side is, the master bed was very comfortable a
