Phenomenal trip at a great price! The host was effective at communicating the whole way through. Neighborhood was safe, and downtown Englewood was very nice.
The home was clean, and had everything we needed for a great trip. The Foosball table saw lots of use and was a great addition. My brother in-law loved playing the Piano.
My daughter forgot a pair of pajamas when we left. The host mailed those to us free of charge along with a stuffed dolphin that my daughter fell in love with on the trip. They truly went above and beyond!!!
Will stay again in the future
