Not clear instructuon, had to gi to a librsry ti Host , book in top shelf id closet, shoukd be in clear easy view. Had a issue of bad cat urine smell, had to sleep on fold out couch, uncomfortable. Host attempted to bot reimburse our stay we had to bring VRBO in too recover all our monies. Other than that it is a cute unit, . We take no glee in having to give a bad review. If a unit allows Pets there should be no rugs for pets to Territory mark on. Ower was aware of the smell and suggested we use oet spray from under the sink. ##### Ken S.
