Perfect spot for a Girls Trip! Everything was just as described. The fully equipped kitchen was a huge plus. Ice maker stopped working (I think we turned it off honestly by accident) and less than 30 minutes later the host had door dashed a huge amount of ice. We were so appreciative…. Because come on, ice is an extra! We gratefully appreciated her quick response and solution!
