Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication #### Just OK OK area of the city, but not great. The 2-hour timer on the A/C was annoying, and the A/C smelled moldy. VERY small bathroom. The neighbors were quite noisy. Need to fix the QR code for the parking so the guest does not need to pay daily for parking and try to be reimbursed. However - thank you for reimbursing for the cost. ##### Darrell G.
