Our stay was wonderful. Everything was perfect with the house. A bathroom downstairs and an extra mirror are the only things that could make this house better but we made it all work and are very pleased with our stay!

The house was perfect for our needs. The kitchen had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, and there was a nice space for visiting and watching TV. The neighborhood was quiet and the host was very responsive. I would definitely use this place again if the need arose.
