Terrible. Beware. Pictures on internet are not the same as actual rooms. I will gladly share pictures if there is a way.
Light fixture with all kinds of bugs and something unknown in it.
Mold completely around the tub along with dirt. Everything in disrepair.
More mold, rust, dirt and a faucet that dribbled all night long.
Flooring that is missing, has holes and finish is non existent. Also water on the floor by refrigerator.
