Review Score:   4
Summary: I had 3 children in the age ranges 1,2,10 and we supposedly had noise complaints. I have babies they will be loud without control. I thought that was ridiculous. We then had a bed break while my kids were sleeping and it took until 5pm for them just to put a cinder block under the bed. It was ok for the few days we were there but next time I don’t think we’ll choose this house.
