Property management and owners were very responsive to our questions. The kitchen & dining area were well equipped making it easy for meals and entertaining guests. Bedrooms & bathrooms were very comfortable. We greatly appreciated the owner responding to our asking for a bbq - it’s a great bbq. Off-street parking in front of garage was appreciated as street parking is challenging especially when schools are in session. An improvement, if possible, would be to have use of the garage. We would definitely return to stay in this home! Thank you. ##### Mary C.
