Great location, but the furnishings were a bit dated.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Very outdated furniture. Hot water for showering was limited. Took quick showers. Bar stool backs weren’t screwed in. It was fine for short stay but would recommend some updates for longer stay. Poor lighting. We like to read. Host interaction was good.

Outdate and not well maintained
The location is absolutely the best for these weekend volleyball events, however this apartment in particular was outdated, we had to open the nightstand drawers with caution or else they would fall off, paint from the ceiling was falling, the barstools were old and unstable, the front door lock was not working properly throughout our stayed, we reported to the “manager” and they insinuated we didnt know how to use a keyless system.
