Hi Rochelle, Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad the beds were comfy and the hot water was good. Sorry about the ants in the bathroom, we’ll get that sorted out right away. Appreciate the note about the shelf, too; we’ll find a better spot for it so it’s out of the way. Thanks again for staying with us!
The apartment was so horrible I couldn’t even stay there and feel safe for 1 night. There were non working lights. Filthy kitchen drawers.. disgusting coffee maker.. no lamp in living room. I was unable to open a closet because of junk in the way . I had to stay at my son’s house. I have called the manager 4 times to request a refund with no call back I have pictures
