While the house owner seemed a very nice person when I spoke to her on the phone, it does not negate the fact that the house was a disgrace. Where to start: Laundry left behind from previous tenant, washing machine dirty and I scrubbed it before use, kitchen cupboards, utensils, pots and pans, refridgerator and stove/oven disgusting. I cleaned 3 pantry draws and 1 kitchen draw so as we could put our goods inside. ALL need a good clean. Blinds, flyscreens and window and sliding door runners all need to have dust and dead insects removed as well as cobwebs. Electric Jug is rusting and the toaster hasn't been cleaned since I don't know when. I washed enough plates, cups, glasses and cutlery before using, yuck! The main bathroom had all sand in the bottom of the shower , once again windows and screens needed cleaning. Toilet, thank god was clean, except for cobwebs. Ensuite bathroom needs a good scrub, mould all around the shower screen. Cobwebs and dirty fly screens. Floors needed a good mop as were not clean and felt sticky underfoot. There was no vacumn cleaner or mop and bucket to do the floors (they were broken by a previous tenant and therefore not replaced), what was there was a dirty, filty broom, (hair and dust caked onto it) and a dust pan and brush that we would not touch. The reason we originally booked this home was because of the supposed attractive outside BBQ area. DISGUSTING! Broken dirty furniture and a BBQ that I would not cook my dog food on. Cloths Line had only two useable sides. Grass was overgrown and outside needed to have a good going over to remove dead plants and overgrown vines. The eaves to this home were also all broken and sections missing. Curtain Rail in one bedroom was just hanging by one screw, so no touching this or it would have fallen. One badly positioned split system airconditioner and one very, very hot house. we decided that we had enough and left a day early. I have taken photos so if you need further proof please advise and I shall gladly forward to you. In the owners defence when I complained loudly she did get a lady to come and try and clean, so we vacated the house for her, but she was only able to do 3hours as she couldn't continue because of heat and tiredness. Even she said the house needed a good professional clean. I would believe that this owner has not walked into this house in quite a while as no one in good conscience could accept a booking with the house in this condition.
