Wow! 5 out of 5. Thank you so much for your feedback.

The pictures of this property are beautiful- but up close it is a little worn down and dirty. Our room, especially the bathroom was in dire need of a deep cleaning. The roof top pool is small and usually too full to enjoy. The area is nice and close to bus stops and subway stations.
