Layout of apartment and location were brilliant. Small things that let it down were air conditioning not working, remote for living room TV was broken with batteries exposed and the unit wasn’t very clean we kept finding hair both animal and human, crunched up corn chips around floor near the couch as well as ants, decorative pillows and throws needed washing.
