Comfortable and Convenient

We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, well appointed studio unit. Overall the unit was clean however furnishings such as the sofa need a deep clean. The entrance via a messy driveway and yard also needs some attention. Communication with the host was via auto replies and automatically generated responses. Consequently our one request was ultimately not acted on. Overall the unit itself met our needs and with a few tweaks it would have been ideal.
