"Apartment was vey clean, with ample storage for clothes. The location is ideal and within walking distance to most restaurants. There is an excellent self use laundry mat and pharmacy nearby. The only negative items were a washing machine/dryer that didn’t dry the clothing, and the lack of a bath Matt for the tub and face cloths. If these three items are addressed I would have given this location a five star review."
