Review Score:   8
Summary: Property states that it sleeps 4, but really only 1 king and smaller Murphy bed accommodate 3 comfortably. A sleeper sofa would make it more amenable to 4 guests, also, shower drain was slow and water built up during the shower. Management/cleaning company should be checking these things, otherwise really nice.
