A couple concerns

We loved the location and cleanliness of our rental, however the thermostat was locked on, heat some days we would leave with it set on 69 only to come back and it was up to 79 or 80. We did not touch it! Also when we tried to open the windows the only one that would open was the living room. The only thing I would change outside would be the back patio area….it wasn’t very appealing. Thank you

Great stay!

We enjoyed our visit - the location was great - convenient to restaurants, stores, etc. The only thing I found a bit frustrating was the lack of a chest in the main bedroom - we moved a small one from the closet of the second bedroom so we could fully unpack since we were there 10 days.
