Overall, a wonderful property. There are clear maintenance deficiencies throughout the property. There was a large blower outside of my room attempting to dry the hallway carpet from a water leak. The smell from the blower was quite naturally unpleasant. The sink in the bathroom didn’t drain. However, these are isolated issues and don’t necessarily reflect a persistent problem. Overall, great value and experience. Well worth the investment and time spent.
