4.0 star property

"Location was good - we could drive everywhere we wanted to go and be there within 5 minutes. The unit is in need of new furniture. The pullout couch was disgusting and very uncomfortable. One of the cushions clearly had something spilled on it that took up the entire cushion but instead of cleaning the cushion, it was just flipped over! The chairs are all in disrepair and when we went to use the 'clean' dishes and there was food caked on the bowls too. The rest of the property was very clean...
