AWESOME Apartment Stay!

daily texts clean apartment three night stay worn carpets
i REALLY liked that the housekeeping staff texted us daily. this ensured that i was happy with everything and they asked if i needed anything extra. they did a wonderful job. our apartment was clean during our three night stay. the only negative thing was the wear in the carpets, they needed to be replaced in some areas.
the fridge hummed loudly the whole night. because of this, i didn't sleep as soundly.
