It met our needs. It is a three story property and ours was the middle unit. At first inspection it appears clean but we walked in stocking feet and were surprised to see how dirty our socks were from the floors were. The bathroom had a small area rug in front of the shower and after steeping on it when exiting the shower the bottoms of our feet were dirty. We cleaned the floors with a swifter and it was filthy.. I would only stay here again if no other option was available.
