Perfect Home and Location

My family and I stayed at the Lincoln Street home for a quick trip to visit extended family. The location is excellent and the home is absolutely perfect. It's charming and comfortable with ample living space. The beds and linens are super comfy! The yard is big and this home is in a very quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the home very much and will most likely rent it again when visiting family.

Basic and worn.

Arrived as scheduled. No heat other than space heaters. Kitchen well equipped. Furnature worn and shoddy. Awoke after 1st night all bit up from "something"..TV didn't work upon arrival. Was told there was a power outage. Someone should have gone in that day to make sure all was well. We had an 8 hour drive and arrived to these conditions. Very disappointing. Come on, it cant be that hard to get decent furnature...outlets inaccessible...very difficult to use outlet in bathroom. Won't be back unfortunately. Excessive fees..over $700 for two nights of tired bare necessities.
