The house was great, parking was perfect. Location was great. Host was on point with communications. I would have liked to of had more items in the kitchen, such as hand towels, prep bowls, cutting board, cookie sheet, etc., and if these things weren’t, there would have been good to know ahead of time so I could have brought that with me to cook and prepare food and things. I would recommend this house and location.
