The landlord thought of everything in satisfying the needs of a renter. Kitchen was supplied with everything you needed. Towels were plentiful with hooks also available for drying along with towel rods. Bed was comfortable. Good arrangement for furniture. TV had good stations. Great location for restaurants. Glad to rebook on a return trip.
