Nice Neighborhood but No Internet

This is the second time in a year that my family and I have stayed here. It is only 3 blocks from my son and his family. We neighborhood is very nice. There was no internet for the 7 days we were there. The couch was also broken. I noticed the cleaning was not up to what it had been in the past. Granted they had had a messy party leave just before us. If they fix the internet and cleaning, with a new couch, we will likely stay there again.
