The house was beautifully decorated and so comfortable. The neighborhood was wonderfully quiet. We really appreciated the Keurig and fully stocked kitchen. The weather was cold and windy, but the house kept us warm. Also, we got a quick answer to our stupid question asking where the garbage bin was even though it was prominently situated at the side of the house!

Kitchen had nice big fridge and freezer, new dishwasher and plenty of pans and dishes for family gatherings. We rented for our family of 8 for a wedding in the area. Area was convenient to location and in a very quiet neighborhood. Everyone enjoyed the large recliner couch. I had never been in a home with a fire suppression system thru out the entire house. There is no fence in backyard for privacy if that is an issue for you but there was an outdoor umbrella table and grill. Everyone loved the house.

The house and host were wonderful! The only suggestion would be to offer a hairdryer as that’s pretty much standard in most hotels. That wouldn’t deter me from staying there again though!
