Review Score:   8
Summary: Stayed at same unit recently. Appreciated the owner taking action on some of the points made. Will likely stay here again. One more request would be to please have the bed sheets cleaned the day before arrival so they are fresh. It seems that sheets acquired a specific 'odor' if unit not in use for a while. Everything else was great.
