I am at a complete loss of words - I cleaned that place from top to bottom before we left - he also locked us out two of the days that we paid for so if he had problems, we couldn't even go back in and fix them if we wanted.   There are a few things on there that are completely reasonable but about 95% of it is crazy.    I don't even know what to do.......
