Everything was in order at the house, and the property was very nice. There was a bit of an unusual smell coming from the fridge, and despite offering some cleaning materials, I would’ve hoped for a bit more of an acknowledgment of the issue, as opposed to expressing that it’s not something that they’ve noticed before. Generally, a very good place though, and I would stay at this property again. ##### Wesley G.
