Cute
First of all, the owners/ management were amazing with responding quickly and efficiently. Anytime I had a question they answered quickly. Gave a very well detailed online packet with everything you need to know, as well as places to visit. The listing is very accurate. Neighborhood was cute and quiet. Only thing I would say is bring air freshener maybe if you’re super sensitive to smells.

Pics are very deceiving!!!!
A HOTEL ROOM FOR THE SAME PRICE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER!!!! to start I was never given a gate code to get inside the front gate. I tried to reach the property manager, but the app was not working until that evening. The room was not as clean as it should have been considering how small the room was detail cleaning could have been done since checkout time is 10:30am and check-in time is 4:30 PM. You can smell the mold coming from the air conditioning… The amenities stated a cooktop there was none. But the worst part was the sliding glass doors to the patio does not lock. In my opinion, very unsafe. I will NOT Stay there again and will not recommend these pods to anyone else. You will be very disappointed as was the tenants that stayed across from us. I spoke with the property manager about somewhat of a refund to know avail only wanted to put Band-Aids on our inconvenience.. Lesson learned for sure.

We stayed at the property for less than 12 hours but everything was great. Close to downtown, but away from the business. Neighborhood seems a little run down but looks we’re deceiving and it was super quaint and quiet! Thanks!

Disliked: Amenities
We left the location after 2 minutes. There are no curtains to darken the room. The bed is too small for two (at least for us), no space for a suitcase… The responsible person there was kind and helpful and promised to pass on out critics and that at least a partial refund would be possible. But from vrbo (the one you have to message to) no good will was shown. I thought this could be a special location to sleep at. Now I‘m a bit wiser. Choose it maybe if you are on your own, but not as a couple!
