This is a cute little home, very well equipped kitchen. The backyard was great for my dog. It had everything we needed! Host was great to deal with, super easy check in. Would definitely stay here again.
Very nice little house. Very good value for your money. My only critique would be the shower. You could barely get the shampoo or conditioner out of your hair. There's literally no water pressure. Other than that it was a five-star stay
