Disliked: Cleanliness
The property was well located. Very spacious room with a large bedroom. Everything was great, But unfortunately my partner and I had to kill some cockroaches in the bathroom. Not sure if this was not cleaned properly or no bug killer enough sprayed around, windows were all opened when we arrived, so not sure where it came from or if it was already there.
