Great location but wasn’t the best place

After getting to the property we noticed that the bathtub was the only place for a “shower”. Then I had to search the listing and dig deep to find that they don’t actually have any showers at the location. We wish it would have been easier to find that information so we would have booked someplace else. The thermostat was set at 74 degrees and we weren’t able to change it, by the middle of the night it was 78 degrees. Also the parking in the back was not accessible to us as someone was doubled park.

We appreciate your input and the opportunity to improve. Warm regards, The Simple Life Rentals Team

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
For the most part, everything in the listing was accurate so technically I wouldn't have anything to complain about. The site does say five people max which I would assume somebody was going to share a bed since there were 3 beds & 1 sofa. Bathroom was smaller than expected. Small would be fine except it's actually cramped since it's in a room not designed originally as a bathroom & in a slanted ceiling room so you can't stand in the tub. It was still good overall with those exceptions.
