Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The location was great. Very clean. It was frustrating that there isn’t anywhere to set things down in the master bedroom except the small nightstands. The couches in living room and downstairs were not very comfortable. Except for those problems we would recommend the place.
