"The condo was fine overall. However, there was light dust on most surfaces and the a/c return was extremely dirty. The bathtub in the hall bath is chipped. We were not told ahead of time that the apartment above us would be having construction done. Previous notice would have been nice as it was extremely disruptive. We also could not figure out how to access the parking lot. As a result we had to park on the street. The side view mirror on one of our cars (a rental) was clipped during the night.
