Enjoyed Stay
The only criticism is all the mosquitos . . . but it's Bolivar so it's expected. House was nice. A few minor issues but would stop us from renting again.

Comfortable for our son and his wife and 3 small children and William and me.
Very clean, open floor plan, 3 TVs which were perfect, enough towels, clean frig and microwave. 20 step staircase was somewhat hard to go up and down and the stairs were in need of some repair. Would definately stay there again.
