"Good sheets and towels, house was as pictured. Good tv. Quiet neighborhood, walked to a nice restaurant about 20 mins away. Asked to put our luggage in garage before check in but was told no. So no place to hold luggage was an inconvenience. But at least the correspondent was quick. Wanting us to sign another contract was inconvenient day before check in as we were traveling wasn’t appreciated."
