    Host was fine. The condo was clean but the bathroom was awful! The shower was so small and the shower head so tall that it would go over your head. Smallest sink and very small toilet. The make shift lighting was not done well at all and looked like a teenagers room. The tile floor to ceiling in the bathroom and kitchen was not eye appealing at all. No ice was made which was not great. No trash bags were put in the trash can and that wasn’t noticed until we were getting ready to leave and going through the checklist. When we were leaving there was a storm so I do apologize for not getting the trash taken out. Just wasn’t overly thrilled at all.

    Overall this was a great property to stay at. I rented this room for my father and step mother to attened my neices wedding.Nice and quite area. The condo was a little dated and the front door could use some paint but that was fine. The bunk beds where actual full size twin beds. My 17 year ild son fit comfortably in it, although he was staying else where he tested it out for me.The washer had paper that was left in it and caused paper balls on my dads pants.The clocks where not set forward which almost caused them to miss my neices wedding.And the coffee pot filter basket had old coffee grounds caked inside.Despite all of that my father was extremely pleased with his stay.

    3 adults stayed in this quaint condo getaway. The room is just as advertised. There was a very comfortable feel to this location. The AC did quit on the last night, but a service tech arrived very quickly. The AC unit needs to be replaced, but that was not anyone’s fault. It just happens. Will stay here again.
