The house is a little old but all the furniture are new. It is also clean. The locations are close to supermarkets and lots of other town you can visit. I will recommend this house for family and it’s a good pet friendly house for 5 dogs. I’ll appreciate those landlord that dogs are part of family and should be welcome to travel with them. Bless you for that.
