Very clean! Host is great to work with! Communication is top notch! House is very nicely remodeled. I wish for larger beds, but I knew they were queens from the listing:). The bathroom with the shower is located in the basement which is somewhat inconvenient because the bedrooms are upstairs. However it is very nicely remodeled. Overall, the property is completely remodeled with comfortable furniture, great linens!
