Everything was just as described on the VRBO site. We could not have gotten anything any better anywhere. The location was nice and quiet in a good neighborhood. We will definitely stay there again. It was so nice to go into a clean comfortable home away from home. I am very much a grermaphobe so walking on someone else’s floors barefoot just isn’t me but I did and felt OK about it. Thank You Bob & Carole for sharing your home.
