It was a beautiful neighborhood and we felt very safe there. The place was very clean too. However, the room was 80 degrees all day and night with no ac just one fan. The shower filled up with 3 inches of water while I showered. There were only 2 towels. The blinds on the windows had weirdly missing pieces so someone could look in. Lastly, the gates were really loud which could affect the tenants.

This property was in a lovely and safe neighborhood, and offered a peaceful and private experience. The only drawback was that it does not have air conditioning, so if the temps are high, the cottage does get quite warm during the day but then cools off very nicely at night. The extra bonus is that there's a small private patio area dedicated just to the cottage. A wonderful plus!
