If you have stayed in this particular housing before, was this a deciding factor for you to return and why?
Couldn't figure out whether the others had one time pet fee or periodic, so as I was relatively satisfied with Oakwood, just stayed with them. Also they immediately respond to my inquiry on availability and the others took a few days.
