The room has a strong musty smell it was a dehumidifier in the room and I have to empty 3 times a day, the property is next door to a public park the homeless people lived in this parks and they wonder in the property, I found 2 of them outside my window, I have reported to the property manager and nothing happened, the homeless people attempted to open the sliding window, I didn’t felt safe for that reason. Also we found cockroaches the curtains were dirty. Not a pleasant stay.
