Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Property was wonderful. We did have an issue with one of the air conditioners, but they were able to get someone to come fix it in a few hours on a Friday evening. Kids really enjoyed the ping pong table. Would stay at this house again.
