The staff at the desk were lovely. The villa we stayed in was clean. The cushions on the couch and chairs need replacing as they were pretty much flat. The bed was also in need of replacement.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The staff was friendly. Parking was easy. The AC/heat worked great. The kitchen was lacking knives and basic cooking items, and had no dishwasher. There was a coffee maker, but were no filters. The room was VERY sparse. No rugs, no throw blankets, old decor, small TV in an awkward spot. There was no place in the bathroom to put toiletries--just a small pedestal sink with no counter. The place felt and smelled like a cheap hotel. I think other units may be better as each unit seems to be individually owned, so I would ask more questions before just booking any room.
