Excellent location close to everything. Place is a bit tired.

Overall it’s located in a great location close to everything. The house is dated and the pool is not really inviting like in the photo we didn’t use it. . The yard is very buggy due to the “tropical look” of the property. The house was clean but full of salamanders. Property manager was nice and responsive.
