The property has a good location in town and is easy to find. It is not far from conviencience elements (store, restaurants, gas station etc.). Given that it's a reconstructed post office, it was not surprising that the property looks aged a bit, but we were a bit surprised by the amount of ongoing work in the building (several rooms appeared to be under construction). It proved to be pretty quiet, since we were the only ones there. Generally the proeperty met expectations.
