Hector was very informative and accommodating to our needs. We really enjoyed our stay for the weekend. Being close to the recreation center and the hot air balloon races were a plus. The house was very clean, updated, and had lots of the essentials for us to borrow. I've stayed in places where we had to do all of the laundry before leaving and bring the garbage to the dumpster. It was nice that we didn't have to do that here, it was very much like staying in a hotel.
