Weren’t taken care for a day and a half. Our total stay was 4 days. Access to home a little tricky. TV difficult to use for my husband and I. Thank goodness our children were there to help us. Otherwise it’s a pretty home in a quiet neighborhood with a good location. ##### Dj A.

One block from South Congress. Great kitchen, living room, and master bedroom. Manager was very responsive. The Guest room needs some TLC. The elliptical needs to be removed, it takes up too much room to get around the bed. The queen bed is 3 feet off the ground and squeaks every time you move, it needs to be replaced. The trundle bed is too small for an average sized adult, it's a child's bed. ##### Dan L.
