Reviewer Comments:
Everything was seamless and the property was very clean. We had stayed here previously and it did not disappoint the second time.
The house was absolutely what I expected. It was well maintained and clean. The area was quiet. Check in and check out was easy. We really enjoyed it.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
Comfortable for our son and his wife and 3 small children and William and me.
Very clean, open floor plan, 3 TVs which were perfect, enough towels, clean frig and microwave. 20 step staircase was somewhat hard to go up and down and the stairs were in need of some repair. Would definately stay there again.
The only criticism is all the mosquitos . . . but it's Bolivar so it's expected. House was nice. A few minor issues but would stop us from renting again.
