The rental was extremely clean and set up nicely . Lots of place to set luggage and hooks to hang towels and clothing. Mike and Maria were very gracious hosts and made our stay as good as it could be. The unit is almost like two separate apartments which worked well to have my family of four in the lower unit and my in-laws in the upper unit. The staircase is outside, but is in a locked foyer. The entire unit felt very secure.
