Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
Property was located in a much lower income and sketchy neighborhood. No broom closet with mop and broom to clean cooking spills. Therefore we did not cook not to mention there is no dishwasher. Deal breaker in my opinion. I’m staying in an home environment instead of a hotel and wanted to cook. But wanted to be able to load dishes in a dishwasher and go on about our vacation. Also, when people are staying a week in a property need to be able to clean their toilet more than once during that time yet, only a used toilet brush and no cleaner was provided.
