Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location
The home was clean, and in a good location. It had plenty of space. The décor was quite minimal, which made it feel a little sparse. One thing to note is that there’s no washer or dryer, which would’ve been helpful for a longer stay. Otherwise, it was pleasant and quiet.
