Only ONE room and bathroom. The refrigerator was full of food from other people (condiments, luncheon meat and eggs) AC/HEAT did not work, (claimed it was user error) dirty dishes in the cabinet, (claimed they were stratches) towels and couch cover smelled like wet dog, bed was so squeaky you couldnt roll over without it waking us, door was standing wide open when we arrived.When we addressed the problems with the owner he made all sorts of excuses or blamed us. DO NOT RECOMMEND
