Comfortable furniture and mattresses, quiet neighborhood.Cons: no top sheets for the beds; no dressers or chests of drawers in the bedrooms; very low water pressure in master bath shower and loose fixtures; yard and decks littered with dead leaves and debris from the trees, same with deck furniture and cushions.
