Liked: Cleanliness
nice view
Besides the view the place could use an uplift. Master bathroom toilet moved when using, tiles on floor cracked and caulking around sink separating badly. Kitchen could use a few mixing bowls and ice maker doesn't work. Both bathrooms are showing a lot of wear. Window slats missing and fall off when closing shades.

Potential
1617 has lots of potential. Below is a list of items pertaining to our stay.
- Registration form information that I was required to complete prior to my arrival was not passed onto front desk and had to complete same information upon our arrival.
- Condo had an odor as if someone smoked inside. Someone was smoking because there was a cigarette butt on deck( still there)
- No furniture on patio when we arrived.
- Cigarette butt & fake nail on deck. It’s still on the deck.
- Place needs to be painted. Photo’s on listings brightened the place up and didn’t show the cracked dry wall, spackled walls and primer on walls ready to be painted.
- In master bathroom the wall paper is coming up off the walls.
- Closet needs to be organized.
- Sinks ( vainity & tubs) did not have a drain plug. Kids couldn’t take a bath. At the same time if you accidentally dropped something in the sink it would immediately be down the drain.
- Ice maker didn’t work
- Toilet seat in master bath would not stay up so as a tall male it was awkward for a male going to the bathroom.
- Many of the electrical outlets need to be update because the will not hold a plugged into the receptacle.
- Master room shower/tub has a bubble on the bottoms of the floor. This could be a safety issue and cause an older person to loose balance and fall in the shower.
- Both bathrooms when you shower are dangerously dark and need clear shower liners that would you allow to pull the curtain back to expose light into
