I would advise that you ensure you bring your own hygiene products, and hair dryer. If you use one as I didn’t have used as a property. Had some difficulty in getting the door code to gain entry, received it an hour and a half after check-in. The mattress is a little firmer than I like and so were the pillows. The kitchen was well equipped, and even had coffee, pods, sugar, and creamer available . Otherwise truly appreciated everything about this property. The washer and dryer were great to have. The office space is super nice with a standing desk, walking through the very nice neighborhood was pleasurable in the evenings. The kitchen was well equipped, loved the layout. ##### Heidi M.
