This year did not disappoint. We were staying with our adult children and one teenager and it was perfect. It was very clean and had ample bedding and linens for everyone. The location of this house could not have been better. We had a small issue with upstairs tennant and management solved it immediately. We woyld definitely stay here again! ##### RandyConnie H. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### S. R. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good location. Property is dated. Ideal location. But be aware that because of this property being older construction - The traffic noise from the road, and from the apartment upstairs, is LOUD. To that point - The people staying above us where stomping around at all hours of night. It sounded like someone was doing construction. I honestly have no idea what they could have been doing. The last night they were there, they apparently hosted a huge party. I finally contacted the host after 12:30am to complain. The party spilled out into the driveway between buildings and neighbors were yelling at kids to clear out. Kids were laughing at, and challenging neighbors. Even after the party (apparently) got broken up - People were stomping around all night. Anyway - The host can't control guest behavior, but there is a level of responsibility to rent to serious people. ##### S. R.
