"The property was great and so was the staff-very eager to be of assistance and kind. The only issue is the maintenance of the property-minor inconveniences-tvs didn't work upon arrival because remotes switched and cable not connected to the tv, blinds couldn't go up and down, and I had to replace three light bulbs which was a little irritating but overall didn't ruin the trip"
