The space was as pictured, it was clean & smelled fresh. No parking pass no fob no remote in the bedroom. Sofa was low and stained. Bed was not comfortable. The location was convenient. The people coming and going from the building were young and loud. Glad we had only booked one night.

Had a good stay, the place was very nice. Only thing that was somewhat annoying was the parking situation since we got blocked by the train many times from getting to our car. Otherwise everything was excellent!

We were not very pleased with our stay. This was our first VRBO experience, and unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The bathroom cleanliness was disappointing. The shower curtain had significant orange staining along the bottom, and the shower tiles also appeared to have orange mildew.The bedding was very minimal, consisting of a sheet, a pillow, and a thin blanket, which was not very comfortable. In the main bedroom, the bed was pressed directly against a large vent, which made the setup feel awkward.We also noticed that our socks became dirty from walking on the floors, which made us question how thoroughly the unit had been cleaned. In addition, there was a nearby train that ran frequently, and we were woken up multiple times by the horn.Overall, we were disappointed with the cleanliness, comfort, and noise level of the property
