The location and accommodations of this property worked out very well for us: close to stores, restaurants, the airport, the interstate highway etc. Despite being an older property, the interior was very clean. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, nice appliances, linens, bedding, pots and pans, etc. The cupboards and fridge were well stocked, too; enough to bake a cake from scratch if we had wanted to! We even had the pleasure of meeting Kevin one day when he attempted to mow the lawn with a mower that didn't work. We had a nice chat with him in the yard. The next day the lawn somehow got mowed while we were out! It was a big improvement.Way to go, Kevin! Sending thanks via this note and wishing you many blessings and good luck on future rentals!
