Liked: Cleanliness, communication
Disliked: Location
The house was clean, the window units worked good. The house lacked personality and I think overall my disappointment was the location. I thought we rented a whole house not a garage. The key box could be updated, it’s kinda hard to use but we were able to get the key. Overall the house is spacious if you have lots of people but over priced for what it is and where it is.
