Unfortunately we don’t allow house parties or unauthorized guests. This guest found out the hard way. We welcome guests who respect our house rules and remove guests who don’t, in accordance with VRBOs policies.
This was a great house. Loved the space and bathroom vanities!!! Had a lot more amenities than listed on the description. I would have loved some hooks for our jackets only con. Also if you have kids no gates. One gate was provided which was nice but i should have asked. Neighborhood is quiet being across from a women’s jail but it was nice and clean and i felt safe. Great location!!! Perfect to every where we wanted to go! Will stay again in the future.
