Just want to clarify that there is more than one bathroom. There is only one full bathroom, but there is a half bath too. Just didn't want potential bookers to think there is only one bathroom. :) Thanks for the review.

Available to answer any questions even on Christmas Eve. The only downfall of the place is the parking. We were not able to park in front of the house on the street because the neighbors truck was there. I do not believe that the renters should be the ones to ask them to move their truck.
