Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Location was clean and organized with plenty of room/storage. Communication was smooth when we had questions. Bathroom had some issues- crack in the tub and the window was glued partially open in lieu of proper ventilation. Kitchen was up to date but sparse in tools/utensils.
