It was not very clean and there was evidence of previous occupants with a bag & litter under the bed and crisps left on kitchen table. The bedding did not appear to have been changed from the previous occupants either. The shower room was small and there is no usable sink in it so to wash we had to use the kitchen sink. Worst property we have ever stayed in and wouldn't recommend it.
