Thank you for your feedback. We're glad the pictures matched your expectations. We recommend reviewing our amenities list to ensure you have everything needed for your stay; this can be found on the Guest Portal so our Guests can plan accordingly. We look forward to hosting you again very soon!
The house was perfect for us and very convenient to be able to walk almost everywhere we wanted to go. It was clean and well maintained which was very nice as I didn't have to contact the owners to let them know about an issue.
