Spartan - but comfortable.
Our experience was fine. I'm not used to renting with such spartan household essentials. They left (1) one automatic dishwashing soap pod. So we couldn't wash dishes in the dishwasher more than once during our stay, or we had to go buy more for ourselves. The furniture was comfortable. The beds were comfortable, I was very grateful for that, as that was one of our number one priorities. The house was super clean and well maintained. It is a good location, very nice neighborhood. We felt very safe.I would consider staying again.
We had a very nice time. The house was so nice. The property itself was beautiful. No traffic going past . Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely give you high reviews. Thank you so much.
