Great location and gathering spot!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2025
1/2 the appliances either didn’t work or worked poorly , everything was outdated, mattresses are worn out . The fact that you have to walk through someone’s bedroom to use the bathroom is not cool at all ! Garage floor has a river in it when it rains which could be easily fixed by cleaning and repairing the gutters and downspouts. The pictures in the add are deceiving.
