Love the location, like the layout, owner was very helpful and friendly. However was greatly disappointed in the sofa’s needed to be replaced, the throw rugs on the floor to cover the dirty carpet, the soft mattress in the bedroom to the right of the bathroom, the dirty back deck and furniture not able to use and messiness of the cupboards in kitchen.would not return unless these things are taken care of. Felt high priced for the dirtyness and uncomfortable furniture. Thanks, Karen Davis ##### Karen D.
