Summary: My two daughters and I spent six nights at this property. We have two issues with it. First, the bathroom sink has been completely clogged, it took a couple of hours to drain fully. Upon draining, the sink would be completely disgusting. I told about this to the property owner on the first morning. She shrugged and said she’d ask someone to take a look “at some point.” Nobody did. Also, for the life of me I couldn’t make the bathroom faucet to produce any hot water. So shaving was out of question.Second, the designated parking for this unit is in a very narrow alley next to the house. It appears that other units are being rented out by the owner, so a number of cars is parked in front of the house. As a result, on a couple of occasions I was unable to make a U turn on the property and had to get onto the street driving backwards. And the street could be pretty busy in the morning, so I felt very uncomfortable about this.Otherwise, a nice unit. But I wouldn’t rent it again.
