Salvaged week
Initial property that we rented was abusmal. Bugs, green pool exposed wires we were able to move to this nice property but the door code never worked afterany phone call attempts we were able to get a key and get in at 9 oclock our original check in was 2 oclock. The next day after the stress went away we had a great time the property is away from town but that was fine.
