The property itself was great! The location was convenient, parking was easy and entry was simple and hassle-free. Unfortunately, the reason for our three-star rating was the absolutely awful smell inside the property. It smelled like urine or dirty diapers and was unpleasant enough to take away from the overall experience. Additionally, the listing advertise complementary bottled water in the refrigerator, but there was none. The bathrooms were also only stocked with a half a roll of toilet paper in each. With four guests using both bathrooms, we quickly ran out.Overall, the property had several great features, but the unpleasant odor and lack of basic necessities made our stay a little less enjoyable then it should’ve been. A little more attention to freshness, detail on stocking basic needs, and what’s advertised would make a big difference!

Thank you, James, for your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the unpleasant smell during your stay. We had experienced some rain, and unfortunately, the dehumidifier was not turned on, which may have contributed to the odor. I also apologize for the missing bottled water. That was my mistake, as I forgot to stock the refrigerator before your arrival. I appreciate you bringing these concerns to my attention, and I will make sure to address them to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for staying with us!
