Property was fine.
The neighborhood was nice, and had a few amenities within walking distance. Check in was difficult as the video sent didn't work, and took a bit to reach the owner. Laundry was left in dryer and washer and while we went ahead and completed washing and folding - received no response from the owner. Other than that, a straight forward rental. Nothing special but served the purpoose.
