Review Score: 6

Summary: Ingrid had good communication and met us to show us the property at check in. The accommodation was acceptable. The two window units had a hard time keeping the place cool during the 102 days. The kitchen utilized a hot plate and a toaster oven instead of a range, and there was no separate sink for the bathroom—only the kitchen sink. The observation tower outside was nice to get a view of the town and surrounding mountains. It was quiet outside of the the window units. I’m 6’5” and could not stand up in the kitchen due to the low ceiling.
