The biggest issue is the mattress in the master bedroom, it really needs to be replaced. Love the fireplace, the AC & appliances were great. ##### Don Z.

It is really not very close to the campus, but it is very close to all sorts of stores and supermarkets . It has been updated and is in fairly good condition. Some repairs need to be made. The room arrangement is great! The master is separate from the other bedrooms. This made for a quiet sleep. All of all, hope to return again and stay there. ##### Linda J.
