Overall ok stay. We have stayed in this neighborhood for several years. Check-in was an issue as cleaners were at the property past check in time and we had to park in the street. Limited communication during this time. Upon arrival the towel bars and toilet paper holders were broken along with missing knobs on drawers.Limited plug ins in the bedroom for chargers, etc.Kitchen was poorly stocked, limited cookware that was in bad shape and limited storage containers for food.Multiple days of the keypad not working on front door.Beds were super noisy causing wakeups of partner every time you would turn over.Wi-Fi information for property was incorrect on fridge, took several emails to rectify .Overall a good stay, great location. Just needs an update and was overpriced compared to similar properties in the neighborhood.
