Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### azlin a. 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cute place The only reason we didnt give 5 stars was because there was a strong smell that wasnt necessarily bad, but we were very sensitive to it and made it a bit uncomfortable. There was also an unexpected 9pm quiet hour limitation we werent expecting, but we were able to work around it. The bathroom was also very very small, and only one small mirror. But, everything else was awesome. Super clean, very comfortable bed, pillows, blankets and towels. There was plenty of extra soap and shampoo/conditioner and there was hot water for both of us to shower comfortably! It was a great place for us to catch up.on our rest between events. ##### azlin a.

Warm cozy welcoming. Just the right size. Strong support from the property manager and host. Setting is private and exit / entry to the unit are secure. WELL worth the . I do not hesitate to recommend it ##### Maryellen F. Stayed 14 nights in Jan 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Brenda W. 6 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### not comfortable First I would like to state that as far as getting the directions and entry it was good. The unit was clean and that is about all I can say that was good about it. The two couches were old and very hard to get in and out of. The bathroom was too small. The stool was too low. VERY LITTLE HOT WATER. We left a day early because the bed was so darn hard we both could not get comfortable to get a good night rest. I would like to get a day's refund but I doubt that will happen. ##### Brenda W.
