Perfect TC Townhome

I loved everything about the property. The garage access was a HUGE bonus. If you have a truck or full size SUV then it will be difficult or impossible to get in there but my mid size car fit fine. I can't wait to stay here over and over again

Girls trip

Second time staying here. Mostly all ok, except the water in the showers needs a regulator. We had to basically take cold showers due to the hot, either being scalding or cold, no matter what you did. Both showers were affected. Also, it is time for new blinds. They were a struggle to raise and lower, and pretty dusty, dirty.
