Summary: This property was beautifully maintained and well equipped with all of the comforts of home. The property was as described and for our large family perfectly. There was plenty of space in the living areas for visiting and games. The bedrooms are spacious and had all that we needed. The area is surrounded by one-way streets and that was challenging to navigate without knowing the area, but nothing our gps couldn’t handle. We did have a small plumbing issue which the owner was very responsive to and had a plumber out in a very short amount of time. I would definitely recommend this property!!!
