The house was as expected. The inside was updated and modernized. The fenced in back yard was convenient and the surrounding neighborhood was nice. It was centrally located for easy access to and from the property.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Pet friendly space the description online is missing one bedroom during our day. We had several issues that were eventually resolved to include the dryer not working the dishwasher not working and the stove not working requiring three separate visits from a vendor. The chairs in the backyard were broken and beer, cans and cigarette butts were in the backyard. The trash removal process was very confusing, and there were no items such as brooms or maps to clean the area as we stayed for a month so we purchased our own. The tea kettle was corroded as well as the toaster so we purchased our own. The sheets had stains in the pillows, were flat and dirty with they were replaced in a timely manner. The towels were minimal and falling apart. The carpets were not tapped down, causing a fall hazard. I asked for some credit back to my account, but never heard back from the manager for the inconveniences that we had.
