Unique

This is a unique property. The home was very clean with all the amenities. Manager/owner reached out ahead of time to let us know they were available for needs. The unit we stayed in did not have an area that was functional for eating. It sleep 10 people but only 2 spots on high chairs to eat. Rules state no eating in other rooms so that was the only drawback. Otherwise a unique stay with clean accommodations!
