There was assignment error of the bed I was suppose to be given. The bunk beds are NOT stable on laminate floors. A/C is poorly that I saw another attendee take and use a portable fan. The houses used are NOT modern looking like the images shown on this site. The roommates were friendly though.

This property is in the ghetto ghetto proper. Came in and heard gunshots. I did not spend the night there.

I did everything by the book and was still denied entry due to not having received a code to the door. I had to find another place. And since Expedia was unable to contact them, my refund was denied. So 0 out of 10.
