Nice property, that worked well for our needs. Was able to work and visit with family while grieving the loss of my father-in-law!
Quick response from property manager and owner when needed! Maintenance man was great too! All nice to have if an issue arises.

Disliked: Location, listing accuracy
Mixed review
The house itself was clean but has some notable maintenance and upkeep issues. The upstairs bedroom is a bkistering oven in any kind of heat even with the cooling fan.
We had an issue with the refrigerator CONSTANTLY beeping for our entire stay. Communication with the property owner was easy and very responsive, there just was no meaningful resolution to the issues.
