Comfortable home, conveniently located
The interior of the property is very roomy. The only negative is just one small bathroom for everyone to share. In the backyard Astroturf carpeting is patchy and was coming up several places. It needs to be replaced or some kind of tile. Other than that I enjoyed the property; it’s nicely decorated and the front porch is lovely with a nice breeze from the palm trees.
