The water pressure in the bathroom was amazing. Be mindful the washer and dryer is shared with the unit next door. I wish the host was a little quicker to respond to questions however I understand, life happens. Would be awesome to see a little book of information about the unit at the unit to help answer any questions. It was a really nice neighborhood and I would definitely stay here again. ##### Harlie W.

A couple of friends and I stayed here for our trip to Disney! Safe neighborhood, great location, and only 20 minutes from Disney! Overall, the property was quaint and worked great for us! The shower is amazing. The only thing that was a bit less than ideal was there was only a thin blanket on the beds rather than a comforter. Otherwise, perfect! ##### Kari G.
