There is little to not like about this property. It was clean, spacious, and equipped with essentials, such as coffee, creamer, bottled water, laundry/dishwasher detergent, etc. The kitchen furnished plenty of dishes, pots, pans, and appliances to cook for and feed a larger family or party. The most impactful downside was the low water pressure throughout the house, making cleaning up and taking showers a bit more challenging. The living room bed sofa was uncomfortable, and the ceiling fan in the master bedroom could benefit from longer chains to navigate the controls. And, if someone is a light sleeper, they might not appreciate the relentless blasting of train horns throughout the night and most of the day. Similarly relentless, the neighborhood dogs barking outside the apartment building across the street.Besides those inconveniences, the property lends itself to a delightful escape that will not disappoint. We would certainly stay there again.
