"DO NOT STAY AT THIS PROPERTY!!!Prior to my arrival I had to reach out about the check-in process multiple times. I finally got the details as I was transiting to the property. Once I received the checkin process it was fairly smooth. My review of property:1) the building was old and a bit worn but was in good location2) Upon entering the unit, you can tell that the property wasn't as well maintained or nice as the pictures depicted3) After we had time to settle in, we started noticing issues...
