Not great - overpriced
Way overpriced for what it is. Vacuum didn't work so we were unable to clean the floors. When we arrived there was a pile of dirty sheets in the doorway. No toilet paper, no soap, cockroaches on the floor - maybe the cleaner didn't just forget to take the sheets with them. They also forgot to vacuum and restock! Small - too expensive for what the property actually is. Location lovely. That's all it has going for it.
