8/10 Good

"Location and size of place were perfect.Areas that could let some down: The flooring in basement was broken up and a bit dangerous, I tripped on the rug trying to cover it all so not a great solution. The pool sticks had no tips so couldn’t even play. The yard was huge but be cautious with the many holes on it. Had fun around it though.All and all a great layout- worked awesome for our outing with 9 soccer players. Perfect bedroom set ups for this, living rooms lended perfectly to them hanging out together too. All in all-great with a recommendation for a few fixes to match advertisement/photos."
