Property was clean and well laid out. Was great for a family of three, and a good launch point for checking things out in the area.There needed to better curtains or blinds. The bedroom we were in didn't have opaque curtains and we ended up hanging a small blanker over the curtain rod. The bathroom also just had a half sheer curtain so we were uncomfortable using the shower.
