The host was very responsive. We loved this cozy home which feels bigger than its square footage. The furniture and appliances were first class and the beds were so comfortable. The location was also very convenient to downtown.

Great location Terrible sleep

Pros: Beautiful remodeled 2bedroom house. Located right off Forest Dr. Close to many nice restaurants & shopping malls.Cons: Main bedroom Queen mattress is clearly worn & old. Bed frame is also broken making for an uncomfortable sleeping experience overall .Smart thermostat also kept turning down to 61degreea in the house in the middle of winter. Thankfully we had extra blankets however it was not a nice temperature for my wife & 1yr old.
