Nice neighborhood for northern suburbs.
The check-in process was easy. The house was decent. There are not photos of all the bedrooms and bathrooms online, and I now wish I would have asked for that because the basement was less than desirable with bunk beds and a shower designed for a child (small). We had to use a hotel in addition to the home. I wouldn't call it great, but its not bad either.

Overall was very good! Hosts very responsive. Really enjoyed the neighborhood and the house was large enough for all of us. We did have a few wasps in the house they we did kill, might be good idea to get traps 😁. Thanks again! We had a great time
