Graduation Weekend

The apartment was clean and comfortable but extremely overpriced. They are located next to a railroad crossing so you hear the train and the blaring horn all night. I also experienced a fire alarm test that no on warned me about. I’ve stayed at brand new condos with better locations for the same price.

Roll tide flush

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved the design of the condo. Everything was thoughtfully laid was clean. The only issue we had was one otoilet would run for 30 minutes or better after each flush. We called maintenance but it never really got fixed. Thankfully we had other bathrooms. Location is great except for the train that runs and shakes the condo every other hour.
