The owner is very communicative and accommodating. The outside patio area is lit nicely and the whole inside of the house is very aesthetically pleasing. My favorite feature of the house would be the accent wall in the living area. It has a dark quartz stone texture that really accentuates the space. Only thing that could make the stay better could be just adding some extra blanket and/or throws, for extra comfort, and maybe labeling the light switches. ##### Christine O.

The Garage is huge, and clean. The entire place was immaculate. I would have to say that even if it had not been up to par Yamils superb customer service would have me coming back. Its hard to find kind hosts nowadays. People who really care ā¤ . Thank you Yamil for such a warm welcome, and for always taking that extra step to make us happy 😊. Your property is gorgeous.

There was plenty of space for the four of us. Each upstairs bedroom had its own bathroom, with an additional bathroom downstairs off the kitchen. One bedroom had a queen bed and the other was a king. The beds were both very comfortable. It was nice to have the washer, dryer, iron and ironing board in the garage. What a clean garage. The kitchen looked well stocked, but we didn't have an opportunity to use it. We did use the Keurig for morning coffee. A great place to stay. ##### Jan N.
