"We hastily rented this unit after a cancelation by our scheduled host. The bedrooms are oddly configured as you have go through one to get to the other. We never found the washer/dryer. The host was very accomdating and brought a new TV the day we checked in. That was very nice but it fell to me to get it on the network, logged in and ready to go. The AC worked well and kept the unit comfy The unit overall served our purpose and the host tried very hard make sure we had what we needed,...
