Convenient location, we had a bungalow that didn’t have a parking port so we had to park in front of the bungalow. Service was great, property is very aged- seemed like there may have been water damage (bubbling on the door and areas of the floor), bathroom door didn’t close, holes in the bed skirt, furniture very worn, looks like repairs started but never finished in some spots.
