Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property was beautiful. I love the apartment set up. People around are very friendly. I did not like that my door lock broke two days before my check out. In order to lock the door, we had to open the door and reclose it to get the lock to work. The bathroom drain was backed up and water filled the bedroom and hallway. I liked that i was able to communicate with the owner.

Friendly and Comfortable

The apartment was lovely. The beds were 2 twin beds pushed together which was not comfortable for a couple. Minimal kitchen cooking pots, plates were too large to fit in microwave. Be prepared to not have weekly cleaning, but nothing supplied to do own cleaning. One roll of toilet paper to share between 2 toilets. One towel supplied in each bathroom. Free clothes washer and dryer. Swimming pool clean and lovely. Parlor was comfortable. Be prepared to go shopping for many essentials stuffs, i.e. toilet paper, sponges, garbage bags, salt and pepper, etc.
