The tv didn’t work . There were some broken glasses ( I labeled and isolated for safety reasons) , the back screen door was not closing until we fixed it , the rug was very dirty in th living room sadly and needs to be thrown out.

The unit was lovely, but because they had parking for only one car, it was difficult.

The unit was fine but the owners shouldn't have converted one of the car spaces into an entry room. Neighbours complained to management that we were parking illegally but we were parking where we were instructed. It was was very petty.

Incredibly comfortable and accomodating.

Our son's girlfriend was able to join us on a family get away after recovering from a tragedy earlier this year. The space and location allowed the young couple to join in the group and find there own time over the 4 days. Many thanks for this memory.
