The house is in a great location, Nice residential neighborhood within a 15 minute walk of downtown. Communication with the host was east. The house was clean and could easily sleep 6. We had a brief overnight stay which was unfortunate bc it really felt like home. Would stay again without question.

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!

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.
