The house was perfect! It was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of kitchen tools and appliances. The house was easily accessible (but if you have a larger car/truck, you’ll need to park on the driveway). The location was easy to get to Palisades and also some of the neighboring areas. We will definitely be booking this house again when we come back! Thank you!
