Good stay

Overall, this property served our 2 families pretty well. The house was spacious and clean. We enjoyed the pool table and the QR code to connect to wifi. The property is in a quiet neighborhood, although the dogs next door could be somewhat loud in the morning. The house is also less than 5 minutes from a grocery store (HEB) and plenty of restaurants. Communication was excellent. The company and homeowner were very responsive – they immediately addressed one minor issue we encountered and did their best to resolve a second that minimally impacted our stay.
