6/10 Okay
"My bedroom in the front of the property was very dusty and the bed linens were very old and some were torn. The cushions on the porch were covered in mildew. My bathroom had lots of mildew. The owner suggested problems with cleaners were to blame. That said, it is owner’s responsibility to provide nice linens that don’t have tears or mildew. "
