Nice clean home in great location

Stayed in this nice house for a couple nights while in town for an event at SCRA dragstrip. The house was clean and the AC worked great even during a heat wave. Great location that is walking distance to restaurants and the house was very clean and well updated.

2nd floor accessibility

Stairs to the second floor were dangerous for our age group(65-75). Had to take hvy suitcases outside and up the outside. The secondary toilet was situated such that it was not private. The hide-a-bed which had to be used because of the stairs had dog bones and not clean. It was also quiet old it tilted towards the couch back. The lighting needed some TLC. Overall the property was nice and well maintained, the amenities were nice and spot on. Having the washer/dryer, was wonderful. Easy access to stores, restaurants, etc.
