"The property was amazing and in a great location..The sad truth was the level of cleanliness was not up to par for what we paid per night. The carpets on stairs were worn and dirty and needed to be replaced. A large shag carpet in the main living area smelled so bad we were forced to roll it up for the duration of our stay."
