This property is in a great location. However, the check-in process was horrible. We were questioned by other guest and the host. Finally at 10:30pm the host arrived and asked about our reservation. I advised i booked a king with balcony and the free breakfast and the welcom basket as advertised. No breakfast and no welcome basket was provided. Also, the priperty had no water due to a neighbor dispute in which the neighbor shut the water off to the property. The host brought us approx 3 gallons of water to flush the toilet and brush our teeth. The kitchen was dirty with stacked up dishes with food on them and the only trash can was overflowing. The host did iffer us a free future night stay, he said he would leave us a hand written note for the free stay but we never rcvd that note. Could not locate the host upon check-out and no one would answer the phone. I could go on and on but i dont have the energy.
