Spacious and very clean.
Great house & enough room for a large family of 6. Questions answered in minutes by owener. Comfortable beds. Very safe location. Road construction caused alittle bit of an issue with parking and we had to park on a side street but once the construction is finished parking should be open on both sides of the road again. Alot of very interesting details in the decor if you look close enough 🙂 Great house and would stay here again!
