"This property was very clean and easy to access. It lack an assortment of cooking condiments, although it has some. The rubbish bins outside were full and upon asking a neighbor about the pickup day, received negative feedback about the owners not doing basics, like taking out the garbage. This place was nice and we were able to wash our clothes and relax in the living room. However, for the price, it was overpriced and we took it due to the lack of other lodging in the area. It met our needs...
