This was a great house. Loved the space and bathroom vanities!!! Had a lot more amenities than listed on the description. I would have loved some hooks for our jackets only con. Also if you have kids no gates. One gate was provided which was nice but i should have asked. Neighborhood is quiet being across from a women’s jail but it was nice and clean and i felt safe. Great location!!! Perfect to every where we wanted to go! Will stay again in the future.
