Great location! Clean space. On the description it says “ balcony/ Patio” this place has neither! It’s a great place for just sleeping but there is no couch to sit on, not a place to relax inside after a long day in the sun. Def not good if you have a dog bc they can’t go outside unless u are out with them… bc there is no patio.Maybe just update the description, for the price I paid I should have had a balcony. So I am a little disappointed.
