This house was so perfect for my stay in Wilmington. It is spacious with three bedrooms and large bathroom. The living area and kitchen were a perfect size for a small group of people. And the location was amazing. It was so close to the riverwalk, I walked there every day. The host communicated with me and was very responsive. The check in process was extremely smooth. I had such a wonderful trip thanks to this stay. I will definitely be back again!
