Baths were a shower in one and a large soaking style tub in the king BR. As we were all over 70yo, we decided to stick to showers, but hey, the water pressure was terrific! The only down side we had was finding 3 dead roaches, even though it was very clean, so I guess their bug spray works. The other is that the ice maker did...

Lots of open and private space for the family and pets

10/10 Excellent
"I see why others mention the neighborhood, but although there are some properties that are questionable we felt safe and the neighborhood was quiet. If you plan to cook during your stay, there are not many options for cooking pans/utensils. So bring casserole dishes, a frying pan if you prefer “non Teflon” type. There aren’t items like tin foil, plastic wrap or zip locks either. These are not complaints however, just informative for the next person. It would be nice if there were TVs in each room but we made it work. No fans in the rooms either, again just a note. Overall it was spacious and the outdoor area was nice and somewhat secluded and private. The place was clean and beds were comfortable."
