"I was not able to find the contact information for the owner as a couple of things did come up during my stay. One was the elevator button for the 1st floor did not work. I did not take my suit case up as a result and just took what I needed for my stay up by hand. I was only staying a few days so no big deal. The other concern I had was that the laundry room was clearly identified other than that is was on the 3rd floor. I never found it but I was able to do my laundry where my family was...

"The furniture in the living room was so worn and the cushions were all smashed down like years of use. Uncomfortable to sit on. Walls were all scuffed up and I think because of these things it just didn’t feel clean. One of the beds didn’t have a top sheet so we had to re-make the bed as soon as we got in so that was inconvenient. The cost was right and the elevator was nice and convenient… but the condo looked nothing like the picture. "
