Very clean and well decorated cozy property! Close to train stations and downtown. The only misses for us were: 1. The lack of directions on how to operate the washer, dryer combo in the kitchen, the stove, and the other small appliances, & TV. Simple countertop instructions would’ve been helpful and time saving. 2. Pillows on all the beds were severely flattened and the mattresses on both beds were very firm. Otherwise, great property for the price and location.
