Summary: Perhaps the best property rental experience I have ever had. The unit is very clean and tastefully decorated. There is every appliance, dish, pan or glass you could possibly need, and as nice as you’d have in your own home. We reached out to Tiffany a couple of times, and she was a gem to work with. We plan to return!
