Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Her stay at the condo was absolutely wonderful. Every aspect of our stay was perfect. The interior exceeded expectations. The check-in process was extremely helpful. The host was always available if we had a question. The building was secure and a big plus was having garage parking. Can’t wait to stay here again.
