I rarely post comments, but I felt impelled to do so in this case. The property and furnishings were amazing and surpassed my expectations. There were ample supplies including many items that you would never expect in a rental. I think the reason I enjoyed it as much as I did was the feeling that they really cared about their renters. I actually felt like part of the family. I rated this a rare 5 out of 5 stars and truly recommend it. ##### LYDIA C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy F. 22 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location !!
