House is immaculate, Well equipped with everything you could possibly want in the kitchen. I am technologically challenged and could not get the TV to work. Michael returned my text within minutes and walked us through the process of getting the TV to work. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe. We walked 4 miles every day. Michael was the most gracious host encouraging us to reach out to him if we needed anything at all. We enjoyed ourselves so much we are planning to make it a yearly tradition. ##### Natalie C.
