5* 10minRDU refreshing Suite RTP quiet DISCOUNT RT

Modern style freshly renovated but not a new condo complex so keep that in mind, few clothes will be in the home also fridge might have freshly used items(had bad reviews for left and for not), stove is glass top and few guests have used wrong cleaning supplies and left few permanent marks/streaks on it(it’s not dirty what some guests will assume) also it’s a lot of pollen in the air around N.C. this time of year (April, May) so everything is clean just pollen/dust might be around window seals.
