Nov 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Generally a nice property, well located and equipped. Biggest issue was internet access - extremely slow. Not able to stream and taking 5 minutes to down load digital image. Totally inadequate and created cloud of frustration over stay. Although generally clean, seemed as though the pre clean fell short - dirty tray in oven, dirty cutting board, no liners/bags in bins. Wont be going back. ##### Chris G.
