I know the area is good but I never stepped foot in the place ##### Jacquelyn P. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Denise R. 20 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### More roaches than you ever wanted Good location for us. Would have been perfect if the property was maintained and pest control had been applied. Room was filthy with roach feces all over the floor, kitchen counter, cabinets, and drawers. We had to wash anything we used. Stored everything in zip lock bags. ##### Denise R. Stayed 11 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David W. 15 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Internship Smaller than the pictures make it look. Not the best neighborhood. Floors were disgusting when I moved in. But, once cleaned it served all the purpose that it needed to. ##### David W.
