Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The whole house smells, couch and cushions are dirty,walls are stained. The house is so old, so broken, it’s not in a good condition for rental. We would never want to stay there again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Lovely area, disappointing stay.
The area is lovely and quiet, and yard was secure for my dog, but overall I was very disappointed in our stay. The stay included the oven, fridge and TV not working or stopping working, and I expected a cleaner house for the cleaning amount included in the price.
The property manager was very communicative and responsive.
