Fantastic location for access to all of the central Florida places we wanted to visit. Quiet neighborhood in a quiet town. The host was friendly, helpful and accommodating. We also met the team members who support the host and they were friendly too. We will check the availability of this location anytime we plan another central Florida visit.
