8/10 Good

"This is a little spot with a great location!!!! The space was nice and overall clean with the exception of some dirty dishes and random hair accessories on the floor. We swept the floor and did some dishes then all was great! We had some issues with the internet and found the best way to contact the host was via text message as a phone call and message through the app went unanswered. However, she was very responsive with a text to her number. I found the bed to be very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped! The shower was lovely and had a wonderful pressure!!! "
