Over priced for quality

House needs overhaul .. fixtures, appliances, etc old. Wall to wall carpeting from another era.Special habitat for spiders needs some solution. This limited use of pool and outdoor dining.Many dishes had to be washed to be used.Prior rodent problem worrisome, though clearly corrected. In total not worth the price. Management recognized problems and made a refund of portion of property. Nice book collection.Internet service provider problem. Management attended to problem with competent help.
