Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ursula B. 28 Sept 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location I The kitchen was mostly clean and well maintained. It looks newly remodeled. The eating area/ counter wall was dirty. Old food dried on wall and mold around sink. The bathroom was the biggest disappointment. Really in poor condition. I believe the bathtub was clean, just stained. Window in bathroom was moldy, floor and baseboards dirty or stained. Parking was misleading. There is a drive and garage, but the drive is really tight and almost impossible to turn around in, so I would suggest backing up. If you have a large SUV, best of luck. The vine along the drive needs to be removed or trimmed. The host was a good communicator. We had an issue with one of the mini-splits and it was handled quickly. The blinds in the living room were broken; we coved windows with small blankets. We were in the smaller of the two units and had very little privacy. Two groups stayed in the adjoining unit during our stay. The first group did laundry during their entire stay. The second had four adults and two little children. They basically kept the gate closed for the safety of the children(understandable). But when the kids ran around the property, we were basically without any privacy, as the adults naturally ran after them. Our bath, bedroom and kitchen windows were in their running path. There is also significant noise between the units. We could hear all that was transpiring in the adjacent unit. Location was PREMO!!! Close to Baloa Park and all highways. ##### Ursula B.
