We stayed two nights while attending a World Cup match. This property offered so much more than listed. So many small touches like night lights already in every room (when I forgot to pack mine). Kitchen was wonderfully stocked with more than we could ever need. Great assortment of teas and recycling clearly labeled. Our 9-year-old grandson delighted in the games, the globe and the bean bag chairs. I was very appreciative for the tub bench and grab bars. My only suggestion is to oil the squeaky hinges on the bathroom door in the King bedroom. Also, the lower part of the driveway is a bit steep for those using a cane or walker. This was a great place for 3 generations of our family to stay!
