My issue is the communication. The lights in the kitchen did not work the entire week. I reached out to the management company via email, portal, and Expedia multiple times, all without response. We were not able to fix a meal after sundown and my wife nearly fell on the stairs due to the lack of light. It should have been an easy solve and I hope they fixed it for the next person.
