The property was in a nice location and we had no issues with check in. However upon entering the property we noticed it did not look like the pictures in the listing. The unit was dirty, did have bugs and had multiple other issues. Despite following instructions for the ways to report issues it still took multiple attempts over few days before any issue was acknowledged or addressed
Posting indicated pool and gym access only to later be told those amenities were not included. Photos showed porch with seating but in actuality it was a porch with no seating. Only two of the beds had a comforter while the other two had the equivalent of a sheet. Beds were hard as a rock. Each bathroom had just one roll of toilet paper and no extra. Only two laundry detergent pods were available and no dryer sheets. Minimal kitchen utensils available thus making use of kitchen impossible. Entrance to complex was supposed to be secured with required PIN code entry, but in fact no code required for entrance thus decreasing safety. Bedrooms have two deadbolts on the inside of each room which lends way to question overall safety. Showers had no water pressure thus making it impossible to wash hair and barely able to wash body. In short this is an apartment complex that is clearly not full and they did the bare minimum to put the cheapest bedding in so as to take advantage of families seeking a spring break trip.
