Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
Good location for visiting the University. Very clean and looked new. We had a nice stay, however the instructions for parking garage and apartment building entrance & elevator were confusing. Also, misinformation on parking spot. Had a lot of back and forth communication with co-host for over an hour. Not fault of owners but note that there was a lot of street noise during night and early morning and a couple of homeless people just outside the building.
