Aaron was amazing, attentive, quickly responded, and was very concerned and delightful to work with. The house was amazing. Kitchen was stocked. The only negative, and I mean the only negative, was they said they were two queens in the bedroom but they were doubles and we had all adults. Other than that, the property was incredible, the neighborhood perfect, location excellent. Have the best time and will definitely rent this house again! I can’t say enough good things about it. The four couples had the most amazing time.
