10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I had an absolutely INCREDIBLE stay and am glad I did not book based on the one review they had. I reached out and spoke to the property manager directly about the previous guest experience and she made my decision to book a no brainer. The property is clean, with all new amenities, FULLY stocked, super quiet and safe. The bed is extremely comfortable. I had everything I needed and would absolutely recommend this stay for anyone looking for a home away from home.
