The host is very responsive, which everyone in our group appreciated.This older house has been nicely remodeled and has all modern amenities. Our group of thirteen (including six children) was very comfortable. A baby crib was also present (but bring your own baby high-chair). All rooms are spacious and brightly lit. There is plenty of closet space, and it was VERY nice to have three full bathrooms (one on each level), plus a fully-supplied laundry room.The thermostat is controlled from a remote-location, but the owner quickly adjusted it.The outdoor grounds are well-kept, and we enjoyed the nearby park. Two of us jogged 5K in the neighborhood, which felt perfectly safe.The driveway is VERY steep, but we parked two cars at the top, and there is sufficient room on the street for 2-3 additional cars. The house is close to a busy thoroughfare, but noise is not a problem because the house is high above the road.We came in October, so the swimming pool was closed. But I imagine this would be a nice retreat in the summer.
