Oct 11, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice quiet neighborhood Home is located in a quiet neighborhood. Check-in was a little rough, but we worked it out and stay was good after that. Home needed some cleaning from previous tenants, but wasn't bad. Owner was communicative throughout. ##### Walt G.
