The host thought of everything. It was nice, not have to run to the grocery store to grab necessities. She is very responsive to any questions that I had. The home was perfect and spacious for our group.

Perfect for our needs
This place worked out great for our stay in GR. Close to downtown. Had a nice Mexican restaurant close a couple blocks away. The kitchen we used for basically breakfast and coffee time. I didn't cook much in it but it seemed that everything was stocked well. Plenty of towels extra blankets. Nice decor and very cozy. It was a great place to call home while we were away from home.
