Nice place
Great place. Had a hick up when we first got there but owner handled it quickly. Nice place to stay. Great price compared to other rooms there! Recommend bringing a fan to drown out elevator noise at night.

Really nice condo, some issues…washer/dryer were old…dryer didn’t dry well and the knob was a wrench attached. The backsplash in the kitchen was falling off in some areas (didn’t affect us, but wanted to make note of it) Could’ve used more than 2 keurig cups of coffee (but not there long enough to justify buying a box). Wish there was a TV in the second bedroom and also wish there were some extra amenities like shampoo/conditioner/body wash. The beds were super comfy. And the communication with the manager (owner?) was efficient and had a quick response.
