2/10 Terrible

NOTHING CHARMING HERE
We called this place "the dump." It was dirty, dank, and noisy. Here are the low lights:
The first coffee cup I picked up had not been washed. The oven was filthy, greasy, and the baking sheet in the oven had crumbs on it. Floor fan was covered with dust and lint. In the bathroom, I picked up a hand towel that smelled like urine.
Granted the heat wave and high humidity made the situation bad, but the shabby furniture covered with blankets made it worse. The house sits 35 feet from a main road in Belfast, and the necessarily open windows brought incessant traffic noise right into the living room. And the bedroom. Starting at 5am.
The lack of amenities was sad. No salt and pepper shakers or dish towels in the kitchen. (Wash clothes do not count.) No kitchen garbage bags or baggies. One ice tray in the freezer. Two very thin and thread bare bath towels. The plastic flowers in Goodwill vases and stapled to every wall in the house are not "charming."
On a positive note, the bathroom was fine and the washer dryer was great. We started by washing the "smelly" hand towel.
We did contact the manager to ask about a humidifier --anything to help the air conditioner in the bedroom. He did nothing. We left three days early on a two week stay.
