We did not touch it! Also when we tried to open the windows the only one that would open was the living room. The only thing I would change outside would be the back patio area….it wasn’t very appealing. Thank you ##### Cindi K.

We enjoyed our visit - the location was great - convenient to restaurants, stores, etc. The only thing I found a bit frustrating was the lack of a chest in the main bedroom - we moved a small one from the closet of the second bedroom so we could fully unpack since we were there 10 days. ##### Deana R.
