it was a very pleasant communication with brendan. he was always very helpful and always available. although it was very difficult to find the place initially, that we had to resort to getting help from a local to call brendan's mom to get the exact direction, and also we had to wait for almost an hour in front of the building for brendan's helper to fetch us although the place was right under our nose but it was ok. the interior of the place was overall ok although i agree that it must have been shot by a pro. the exterior was unexpected but it was ok since we only saw that part on or way out. the only bad thing was that the shower's drain was clogged, and there were 5 of us so we had to wait for few minutes for it to drain to use the shower. but brendan has been notified and he is working on it. overall, it was a good experience, and a value-for-money stay..
