Older home, in a neighborhood with lots of homeless and we did see prostitution. Parked cars on street one street was tight getting in and out and even saw one that got side swiped. Rained when we were there and there is drainage issues. One code to get into building and then 1 to get into apartment. There are 3 other apartments in the building. Beds were firmer than my liking. We only had hot water one day of the 4 we stayed. Small ants in the shower. Soggy rug in bathroom by the shower pretty sure there was a whole in the floor or messed up tiles under the rug. Have to keep AC on or it gets really hot. Kitchen was nice had everything you needed. The Starbucks was nice the Foodlion was discussing.

The place was cozy, modern and was spacious for myself and my daughter who was here for a soccer tournament. The description says the entire house, but it’s not the entire house. The unit that we have was number four on the very top of the staircase. Again, the place was very clean and spacious. Be very mindful of where you park as it rains a lot and you want to park in higher ground rather than in front of the house. When it did rain for a substantial long time it floods. Again it’s not an issue that they can control, but just an FYI. Also be mindful that there is a code for the front door and for your room and the people who live there tend to lock the door around 8:00 PM, so know your code for the front door if you are stepping out for the evening Overall the experience was positive

My stay wasn't terrible, but there were several inconveniences throughout our visit. Upon arrival, we discovered a broken shower head, experienced inconsistent Wi-Fi, and dealt with a dishwasher that remained broken for 16 of our 21 days at the property. These issues made it seem as though the unit had not been thoroughly inspected before our stay. The space itself was nice, accurately represented in the listing, and conveniently located near the water, which we enjoyed. I requested a partial refund to account for the inconveniences and was offered $50. Given the cost of the stay and the length of time these issues persisted, I do not feel that amount was adequate compensation. Unfortunately, my request for a more reasonable accommodation was ignored.
