A bit cozy, but nice house.

House generally had everything we needed. With 7 adults, the mail living area was a bit snug, and only two bathrooms were challenging at times. Neighborhood and location was nice.

Property was clean and very pretty. Thermostat was locked and we were unable to adjust it until contacting the property manager. Wish the washer would have been working. A few more staples in the kitchen would be good. Overall very nice property.
