We liked the home. The reason for the 3-star rating was that the kitchen was poorly equipped. The pots and pans were very old and gross. Also, only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom, NO extras (we had to go and buy our own).

We really enjoyed the home. Everything we needed was there. Home was clean and beautiful. Only thing was that the kitchens pots and pans are very outdated and everything we cooked would stick to them.
