5 star experience from start to end! Great communication from the host! Checking in was quick and easy. The room was super clean and as described! The property and pool area were beautiful and even has a small pool for kids that wasn’t mentioned but came in clutch for our 1 and 2 year old boys! We will certainly look to stay again with this host in the future!
Obsessed with the view from 612!

In the pictures it looks like you have balcony but you do not. It’s in the hall way. There was a day and half that the room smelled like sewage which the lady at front desk was so nice and let us use some Lysol! The room next to us smelled the same smell! The sheets would not stay on the bed. Also the refrigerator barely cooled anything so we would have to keep things in freezer then put in the refrigerator. But other than that it’s was okay

It’s important to us that our guests feel comfortable and at home, and we recognize that we fell short in a few areas.

We also appreciate your kind words about our front desk staff. They truly care about making your stay as pleasant as possible, and we’re glad they could assist you during your time with us.
