The view is beautiful, however the unit needs a deep clean and the bathroom downstairs needs to be updated and deep cleaned. The rugs and runners throughout the house need to be thrown out, and replaced. Upstairs area was very clean, and the bathroom upstairs was very nice and clean. Unfortunately we will not return.
