What a lovely place! It was very clean and organized. The communication beforehand for how to use Things was really great. The expectations of us, the renters, was also very clear. We had a family of five and we had a ton of room for all of us. The weather was great and we enjoyed our dinner outside on the patio. This place is located in a great central location for transportation, groceries, etc. Great place! I would definitely recommend.
