    “Way better to have a private large living accommodation rather than hotel room across the street.”

    Things I like
    Location. Size. Amenities. Cleanliness of linens, towels, etc. Ease of procuring the property. Communication with property.
    Things I don’t like
    Some difficulty getting in doors. Specifically sequence of keys at apartment door. Would have liked to open more windows.
