Place was great with a great location. Everything was clean and organized, nice to have the garage. My issue was with air conditioning. The only a/c unit was in the staircase area and did not reach the rooms or the top floor where the kitchen and living rooms were. Rooms could have at least had fans. Upper floor with kitchen and living room was close to 34c around mid day. This needs to be fixed for summer time
