Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Very nice property and clean. I was little taken back by the neighborhood. There was some very rundown homes which I didn’t expect. . But I still felt safe. I felt it was a little high priced for the area. But I don’t know since I’ve never been in that area before for pricing..
