Pool was excellent and the apartment was very clean except for a yogurt container and a water bottle under my bed. Kitchen and all bathrooms were all very clean and worked greatIt does need some repair… broken window blinds, broken door frames, washer was making a loud squeaky noise, and furniture could use a lot of updating. Only 1 TV and it was only a 32” which is too small for the living room. Most VRBOs we have stayed in had a tv in every bedroom. Living room tv needs to be wall mounted. Overall it was adequate with excellent kitchen appliances and very clean bathrooms. Our host Julie always responded to our questions.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We truly appreciated the host’s kind welcome and responsiveness throughout our stay. Communication was excellent, especially when we initially had trouble with the keypad. The host was quick to respond and worked with us to ensure we were able to gain access by providing a key, which we were very grateful for.That said, we do feel it’s important to share a few concerns from our experience in a constructive way. Unfortunately, we found hair in every shower and in the beds, along with stained bed sheets and towels, which was disappointing. We also encountered a very loud, squealing washing machine that made doing laundry unpleasant. Additionally, undergarments from a previous guest was left behind, which raised concerns about the thoroughness of cleaning prior to our arrival.Overall, the host was kind and attentive, and we hope this feedback is helpful for improving the experience for future guests. With more attention to cleanliness and maintenance, this property could be much more comfortable.
