Our Mayor of Philadelphia once resided near the block and has sponsored this block to keep it nice and neat.

We personally make sure all sheets and towels are washed and clean with sanitizing spray throughout the whole unit after every stay. Space is spotless and we expect nothing less. It is probably cleaner than your own house lol!
