9/10 Wonderful! (412 reviews)
While it was clean (I had a few tiny caterpillars in the master bath), it was old. And decorating was dark colors - not enough lights to brighten it up. But it had everything we needed. And convenient for our activities. We did not see the pool or gym. We are in our 70’s and the split-level unit had more stairs than our knees liked.
