Yes. Amazing stay and so generous on request made to make it possible to enjoy time with son graduating from Annapolis. Thank you to Bryan, our host, for making it all possible. Location and house was amazing.
Bryan was wonderful to work with. We had some special circumstances regarding our stay and he was completely accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything needed. The house is on a quiet dead end street. The area seemed safe and we were able to take short walks without any worries. View of the river from the 2nd floor bedroom was wonderful. Watched osprey flying and ducks in the river.I would recommend this property to others.
