8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Clean, completely contained big back yard, great communication , had all the amenities you could need - coffee, extra toilet paper, soap, extra pillows, good water pressure, good hvac. Gave 4 stars because the rooms are really small and threshold between rooms and the shower are very short, tall people will have challenges. Otherwise it’s a great place!
