The location and the unit were good. There were 2 areas of concern- 1. Air Freshners - two VERY STRONG air freshners were in the bathroom. This overpowered you the minute you opened the front door. For those of us who get migraines from this, it was aweful. We put them outside but the overpowering smell stayed the whole time. Consider just using vanilla if you feel you have to use anything. 2. Additional sheets and blanket - My sister and I are both over 60 years old. This means we usually have to get up at least once during the night. Crawling in and out of the bed if you get the side against the wall wasn't an option. One of us slept on the couch, but would have loved to open the sleeper sofa and use it. However, with no extra sheets, we didn't do that. One slept on the couch and used one of the throw blankets. Otherwise, this was a fabulous place and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Check in process was annoying, incoherent, and a bit sketchy at first glance. We were told of a 30min delay to finishing cleaning the unit (tbf we were not arriving till later anyway). The pinned location on the check in instructions was incorrect and 2 ‘blocks’ away. When we arrived the smell of raw sewage was rife. We were told it would be addressed, but never mentioned again. When we asked for a late check out, it could not be accommodated. Checkout instructions indicated a bin outside to dispose of refuse, however no bin or further instructions were present.
