Overall it was a great rental in a good location.Morning traffic is loud. Lighting is very bright in living room, with no accent lights for evening and no night light to see in bathroom. Bathroom shower curtain kept falling down. Host answered our questions quickly.

The house was very small, but good enough for both of us. I think they may need a new yard service. The grass was cut right before we got there and it was really long. I hope we didn’t track a lot of it in the house. A lot of construction in the area. otherwise very clean and easy to get to other than the construction areas.

Wonderful home! We could just tell no one had been there in a while because of some cobwebs in places and old grass clippings in the yard, but otherwise very clean and pretty! And the owner was always quick to respond to communication through the app. My family of 5 had a great stay here!

It was OK chairs in the living room instead of the couches. I know you can’t make the bathroom bigger but it would’ve been nice if we had a bigger bathroom or another bathroom and A recliner or footstools would’ve made it much better.
