Everything was wonderful! Home is in a very quiet dead end street, plenty of gathering space. Would be nice to have a dishwasher though. Very clean and lots of wonderful little thoughtful amenities.

This residence was excellent. The host was great and the accommodations perfect. The host was very communicative when an issue occurred (due to freezing temperatures and out of everyone's control) and resolved it quickly. I highly recommend this residence and host!

Nice place to stay. Only having bathroom downstairs was a bit of a drawback but that’s how it is. Very spacious downstairs- a nice place to chill out in. Nice to have coffee provided. Good to be able to walk downtown
