Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
Host was inattentive and never responded or resolved the issue with the internet connection, we were left with no television or WiFi for us to connect for our work. We had to pack and move to a hotel at an additional expense. We will never stay with this host again. 10/10, do not recommend.
