Spacious, with comfortable beds and plenty of towels. The outdoor grill was a nice convenience. Particularly nice for an extended stay. Close to lots of great dining in South Park. Jake was very responsive to any questions or issues that may arise.

AWESOME!
Terrific, newly renovated, clean house that was easy to access from the airport and seemed to be no more than 20 minutes from all of the major attractions! Thanks for hosting us!
