Pros: The house is huge and very clean. The view from the window is amazing. The beds are super comfortable, and the heated blankets were a great touch.Cons: In my opinion, the parking is slightly inconvenient - you have to go around the house and park essentially on the road (though, to be fair, there’s hardly any traffic there). Also, you have to take the trash to a dumpster located up the street. If you have a lot of trash, it’s a bit too far and heavy to go on foot.Overall: We loved it! Honestly, the cons are very minor compared to all the pros.
