We'd like to request a refund based on problems that included health concerns. Here's the note I sent to Brad Brown, the host:
"Brad, I'll send more pictures in a bit, but here's the list of things you might want to address before the next tenant moves in:
--Carpets were dirty, with stains on the carpets, especially in the bedroom at the top of the stairs, to the left...the one that faces the backyard. Also stains on the master bedroom carpet.
--Not enough soap bars for three bathrooms. I had to use hand soap in the second shower, so we had a soap bar for the bottom bathroom. No body wash.
--Ants in the downstairs bathroom and on dining room table. No bug spray in the house, so I wiped up the ants.
--Cockroach ran under the washer.
--Burned out light bulb in the dining area and over a sink in the master bathroom
--Screen door in back has two large holes and doesn't close easily.
--No screen door on the front or back doors that lock.
--The vacuum cleaner container was half full, so I emptied. I tried vacuuming, but there was a strong dusty smell coming from it.
--No broom that I could find.
--We had to wipe down the kitchen counters, as they were dirty.
--I couldn't figure out how to set the timer for the coffee maker. When I pressed on the button for automatic turn-on in the morning, it kept flashing, then turning off.
--Toilet in master bedroom was dirty
--Dust bunnies in the corner of the master bedroom
--Blood stains on the mattress cover in the bedroom where I slept, and where bug bites may have occurred. I'm not sure whether I have bed bug bites, but there are many and on parts of my body that were covered when I was outside. There were also blood stains on the mattress cover in the master bedroom, but my wife didn't get any bites while sleeping there. I slept in the master bedroom part of the time.
--No handle on the microwave oven door.
