Loved this property, it was like home away from home in that all the essentials were there, clean, warm and comfortable and we were finally able to cook something to eat instead of eating out all the time.

Rather expensive for what it was but nice amenities and property manager was very nice. Main complaints are that the washer didn’t work very well and the bathroom smelled very musty.
