Bare necessities but believe the negative reviews
First let me say I NEVER write reviews so the fact that I’m taking time away from my vacation should tell you something.Let’s start with the good. The location is great. A short 30ish minute drive to all that Yosemite has to offer. Next, the condo is small but has almost everything you need such as washer/dryer, functioning kitchen, bathroom, etc.Next, the bad. The condo is outdated and needs lots of refreshments for the amount of money the condo receives. The bed is uncomfortable and probably 10 years old. The most frustrating of all was the WiFi. It’s in the condo listing but it’s basically nonexistent so you can’t use the tv or your phone at all making planning out your days in Yosemite impossible. My partner was hoping to get some work done in the evenings but was unable to because of this. The only time you can get any type of phone signal is by driving 30 minutes to Yosemite village. This also made communicating with property managers very difficult.Everyday between hikes I reached to the property managers regarding the WiFi. They said they resolved the issue but didn’t. Then after checking out they messaged and said the lack of WiFi was due to the increased amount of people using the WiFi because of Memorial Day day weekend. Looking at the previous reviews I can see that’s not true at all. The lack of WiFi would have been acceptable had they listed it on the property page or made excuses. Jusy know what you are getting before you book.

Just OK
Decent. Apartment is within a building that feels like a warren. Amenities are basic. Bathtub faucet leaked - drip drip drip all night. Walls are paper thin. The noisy upstairs neighbors seemed to be building furniture. Hammering at 10:00 at night?!

Believe the negative reviews
I am not one to write a bad review, and am typically pretty skeptical when I read negative reviews. But if you're looking to relax and get a good night's sleep after long days of exploring, this is not the place for you to stay. I'm generally very low maintenance, and I was still disappointed in this condo. You can hear absolutely everything going on in the whole complex, so we were awoken by every person coming and going at all hours. We could hear our next door neighbor snoring through the walls. The bed is VERY firm. The dishwasher is from the 80s at least and started washing at industrial levels on its own at 2:30 in the morning. The couch seemed to be falling apart. The only heater that worked was the faux fire place. They did disclose that the wifi was spotty, which is absolutely correct. There is no cell service here, and we were not able to get in with the door key code. Luckily we were able to use wifi calling to get a lock box code from customer service for the physical key, or we would not have been able to get in at all without driving somewhere to get cell service. Make sure you screen shot all of your entry instructions, because even though I was connected to wifi, it was not working well enough to get to the VRBO app or download my emails. The only thing that felt clean were the floors and linens. The dishes were grimy and limited.
Again, I RARELY write negative reviews, and I do wish I would have believed some of the ones I read before booking here.

Not great
Wifi was awful mostly didn’t work sometimes if I sat on the hall I could send a text. Heater was in and out only worked sometimes. One night it didn’t and it was cold. Bed was extremely uncomfortable. Couch was not usable so no where to sit.

Great apartment for 2 people, comfortable bed, separate lounge area, small kitchen and bathroom.
Read reviews about stained carpets, but was pleased to see this has been updated to laminate flooring throughout.
Cleanliness was generally great, however the base mattress protector on the bed was stained and could do with cleaning/replacing.
We had no cell reception in the park, so the WiFi was much appreciated and worked quite well.
Apartment was well equipped with cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils, full size fridge and a small freezer, ironing board & iron, towels, TV, shampoo/conditioner, washing up supplies.
Location was perfect for visiting the park. 10mins to tunnel view, and approx 30mins to Yosemite village in the valley. There are no restaurants nearby, so bring supplies or plan to eat out in the valley area. There is a kettle, microwave & grill oven, filter coffee machine in the apartment.
Overall, I would recommend this place.

Reasonably priced but outdated
Has all the essentials. Appliances and furnishing a bit old and outdated. About 25 minutes to the valley park. Good place for those traveling on a budget but want the amenities of home
Amazing location for the property, and easy access. I was a little let down due unclean kitchen. It had small cockroaches running around.

Property was nice. Could have been cleaned better. Some minor issues and sticky kitchen floor. The door combination lock was ridiculous. Ten-digit code really? Often took several tries even though correct code was entered.
The carpet was dirty, smell bad, the sofa bed was very old and uncomfortable, the microwave not working, no Wifi, the tv no reception. Overall not a pleasant stayed.

Way over priced
The room was cleaned but everything was outdated. Wifi did not work.
For what they charge, one would think that the items would be updated.
Also, I woke up with bites on my leg. Not sure if it was bedbugs
This condo is conveniently located between the Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove. It has a nice deck overlooking the wooded area and the parking lot.
This condo looks as if it has not been updated since it was built. The pull out bed was so springy we could not use it. The kitchen has a refrigerator and stove that are old but usable. The tile floor has huge chunks broken. The bathroom has a tub and shower which was good.
We had a 4 night stay and were only given 2 towels. The management texted to ask if we needed anything. When I asked for 2 more sets of towels this is what I was told, "Unfortunately, our housekeeping staff doesn't have any extra towels with her. The good news is, there's a coin operated laundromat on the 2nd floor of the building of the A building." When I complained enough, towels magically appeared.
Suited us well. A little hot (no AC). The sofa bed was not very comfortable. Please send chek in instructions via sms also, not only mail. We almost missed the instructions due to lack of internet.
