We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was even more spacious than we expected from the pictures. Our children enjoyed the toys. The pack 'n' play travel crib was unfortunately broken when we arrived, but Mattie was able to fix it.

This was a great family friendly home. It was close for our son attending UC Merced to come and hangout comfortably. It was very clean and inviting. We were extremely pleased with our stay and will be returning for sure.
