Reviewer Comments:
The house is in an older neighborhood. The house is on the smaller side for 8 to stay, but it worked very well! The interior finish is very well done and the useable space worked awesome. I have used VRBO for many rentals and this one was excellent. It was very clean and nicely done. The tv and other amenities were great. I would stay here again anytime.
