"We had a great time at the house. The open space area upstairs was great: the kitchen was large and full equipped, the long dining table was perfect for both eating and playing board games, and the couches allowed everyone to relax. The front porch is phenomenal, as is the outdoor shower.The house is clean, and the host was great at communicating and answering any question.Highly recommended!"
