Home for the holiday's
Nice home for myself and my family to stay at for a week for Thanksgiving! Checkin process was easy and when I did need assistance the owner was quick to respond. I am 6'7 and the ceiling in the basement is low I hit my head several times at night extremely hard and the doorways and the shower is small not just for me but my partner who is a normal size lol. Did not take away from my score its not the house fault I am 6'7 but keep that in mind if you are tall person! I would not stay again for this reason but it was a cozy home!

Cute
It was cute. They had little things that made it convenient like ketchup in the fridge and toiletries. The location was great. It’s only a few minute drive to several cool places to visit like City Museum or the zoo. Check in was very easy. Overall, I would stay again.
