Hot Spot - Cool Issues

Pros

door men are great, best location, no bug issues

super is OK. some of the renters are having trouble with their ac and heating units and the fixes took a long time ... and some still not 100%

Advice to the owners

Fix ac and heating units; upgrade hopefully. Otherwise really awesome spot.
