"The space was absolutely perfect and communication with the host was excellent!! We stayed so briefly, but slept so so well. Several of the lights were very dim, one of the AC units wasnโ€™t on before we arrived so it took quite a while for the bedroom to cool to a comfortable sleeping temperature, and some of the surfaces felt a little dirty, but it was all very minor and an overall wonderful experience for us. There were plenty of soap, towels, dishes available. Sheets were very soft. "
