Basic Condo stay
The condo needed more essential items. Cooking utensils were super cheap or didn’t have what was needed to cook with. There were nats flying up from the kitchen sink.
The lock was hard to work. The door had to be pull to while trying to unlock the door.
We have stayed at this condo complex plenty of times and all of the other condos was way better then this one.
