Great house, excellent location, items in the home are a bit beat up. Kitchen items very used, faucets needed updates, showers leaked water on to floors. Overall a great house for what it is, but some updates and better towels couldn't hurt. The snacks and water bottles were a very pleasant surprise! Communications were super easy and very prompt.
