The morning of July 27 me and my girlfriend woke to crazy amount of ants all over the ceiling and all over our food. I’m sure not all rooms were affected but this had to be the worst experience. Never going back

It is a cute property. However, the walls are thin! We stayed on the first floor and could hear the people above us walking around and in the bathroom. It woke us up.
