Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Kim the host was very prompt on getting back with us on the questions we had. The location was great for us. The house was older but very clean and well stocked. It is on a busy street but the street noise wasn’t too bad. Overall great place to rent.

Clean and Comfortable

The home was very clean and had plenty of space. For anyone sound sensitive please note that that there is a busy intersection and train tracks near this house so you will have traffic background noise. I felt it was noticeable but not disruptive. The house is well cared for, and the living room is especially spacious with comfortable recliners.
