More roaches than you ever wanted
Good location for us. Would have been perfect if the property was maintained and pest control had been applied. Room was filthy with roach feces all over the floor, kitchen counter, cabinets, and drawers. We had to wash anything we used. Stored everything in zip lock bags.
Owner cancelled on me the day before my trip I was stuck with nowhere to stay, they claimed they cancelled because someone booked from another agency and the did not give me a full refund. I know the area is good but I never stepped foot in the place

Smaller than the pictures make it look. Not the best neighborhood. Floors were disgusting when I moved in. But, once cleaned it served all the purpose that it needed to.
