The unit was great-good space-great location, I just wish more NB rentals had A/C units. Being the upstairs unit between two other homes it got hot for several hours a day, but other than that it was everything we expected it to be.

Unfortunately, there was a water leak in the kitchen that dripped down the cabinets onto the countertop during our stay. There also is not a window covering in the back bathroom so neighbors can look right into bathroom where you are showering or using the facilities we hung up a towel in the doorway to block it. Management company was very helpful! We rented bicycles and they were dropped off nicely.

The location of this property is awesome however the pictures are misleading. I’m not sure how many years ago they were taken but the property is definitely more dated. WiFi only works in the main area so if you need to work and need privacy, this won’t work for you. We tried contacting the property manager and were told there’s nothing they could do about it.
