"My only thought is they should have let the renters know there's no bathroom door and so for toileting purposes and showering purposes there is no privacy."
"The interior of this home is lovely. It has all the bells and whistles like high end gas stove, double sinks, beds with soft linens, upgraded kitchen, newly renovated bathroom, and easy keyless entry. The pool was also very clean and a fun place to lounge. Of special note was Elizabeth, who was super quick to respond to my questions, helpful and friendly. I would recommend this place."
