Very clean, had almost everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, hot tub was nice. Great neighborhood. Everything was labeled which was so nice. It was a bit of a jaunt to BU. We had difficulty getting into the property as the door code was wrong or wasn’t working. The code for the lock box wasn’t correct. The neighbor was outside and she knew the new code to get into the lock box so we had a key to open the door. It would be helpful to have a book with all instructions for turning heat on in hot tub, how to manage the thermostat, alarm system, TV and password for WiFi as the one we were given was not correct. The host was very responsive. Overall. I would recommend. Just verify the fixed the key pad to enter the house.
