Very nice little apartment. Comfortable beds. Clean and cozy. The bathroom could use some TLC but overall served our purpose.

Really appreciate the feedback. Glad you liked the place and that the beds were comfy. Thanks for the heads up on the bathroom too. We’ll have the team check it out and see what can be improved. Your input means a lot and we’d be happy to host you again anytime.
The unit needs to be upgraded, but it is a good value if you’re looking for a two bedroom with a large screen TV in a good and neighborhood at a decent price.

Hi Veronica, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We’re glad you picked our place for your stay. Just to share from our side, no issues were reported while you were here, so this is the first we’re hearing of anything being off.
We always aim to give our guests a great experience and really value honest feedback. It helps us see what’s working and where we can tighten things up. If there’s anything specific you’d like to share that didn’t quite meet your expectations, feel free to reach out. We’re always looking to make things better.
Appreciate you staying with us, and we wish you all the best on your future travels.
This stay was entirely false advertisement. The kitchen and bathroom photographed in the ad were not the rooms that were in my apartment. I noticed that the pictures of MY bathroom and kitchen were in a different post showing that they were in a separate apartment also owned my the property owner. The images that show “exterior” and “property grounds” are not on the property at all. I was excited about the falsely advertised kitchen. You can see in the image that the kitchen shows and entirely different living area in the background. There was also a leak in the bathroom the entire stay that the landlord never repaired despite knowing of it. I also had people come to check on the leak (4-5x) who for whatever reason unplugged my fridge and could’ve expired all of my food. They also left my door unlocked and left miscellaneous items in my appt.

Hi Megan, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We do our best to provide an accurate and comfortable stay for all our guests, and we appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.
Regarding the photos, they are meant to showcase the overall property, but we’ll review them to ensure they accurately represent each unit. As for the bathroom leak, we sent maintenance several times to investigate and address the issue during your stay, but unfortunately, the root cause took longer to resolve than we hoped. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the disruption and any oversight, such as unplugging your fridge or leaving items behind—this is not our standard, and we’ll be reviewing our procedures with the team to avoid this in the future.
We value your feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to provide a much better experience. Safe travels!
