"I don't want give a bad rating, because the place was very clean and maybe the problem was us just not looking at the listing carefully enough. We didn't realize it was basically a very small hotel room in an apartment setting. Not much room for 4 individuals to move around. Since the listing said kitchen table, we expected a table and somewhere to eat, not one chair and a TV tray. If you're looking to only come home late and just crash, or relax on the bed, then this is the place for you."
