Just misses -needs some work
The house is spacious and it was clean. The location was convenient for us for the wedding venue we were going to and it is a nice neighborhood. But it needs some things to be a comfortable place to stay. It says it sleeps eight and it can but nothing else is set up to accomodate 8 people! We had 7 staying there and one family member in a near by hotel that spent most of the time with us (couldn't stay with us because none of the rooms had single beds). There are only 6 chairs in the dining room and only one other anywhere in the house that could be moved to the dining room. So we had to have 2 people share a chair to eat together. Each of the 2 bathrooms had only 1 small towel rack - no hooks even. Were are 8 towels supposed to hang? Three of the bedrooms had no usable mirror - so that leaves 6 people having to get ready for an event in only 2 bathrooms. There were only 3 regular spoons, 6 forks and 5 knives. When I contacted the manager instead of bringing us more cutlery - he told us where we could buy some. We had to wash dishes by hand because even though there was a dishwasher they only provided 1 dishwasher pod for 8 people for 2 1/2 days. The upstairs was quite musty smelling. Two of us with allergies couldn't even be up there without reacting. The two young ones with us (9 and 4) discovered the playground in the backyard. But we had to forbid them from going near it because it was rusty, broken and dangerous. It should be removed. Attention to Details matters!

Lovely Home in quiet neighborhood
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely older home. The AC worked great and the accommodations were great. The owner was quick to respond to all questions/inquiries and check-in and check-out were very easy.

We stayed a full week while in town for our son’s wedding and it was just perfect. It was easy to find, very clean and organized, and in a nice location.
