The location is perfect! The house was on a busy street with airport traffic overhead, but you don’t hear it in the house - amazing, right?!The house was neat and tidy, and had everything you need. The furniture was cozy and we loved the large dining table!

Great house, great location

Couldn’t ask for much more in a house for our family. Walking distance to a lot of restaurants/breweries and the river walk. Also, A/c kept us nice and cool during the extreme heat. Would definitely stay again.
