Loved the location and the house with all the amenities they had with it. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was fir the cleanliness of the front of the house. The sides and back was great. The front needs to be washed. In my opinion its because the motion lights stayed on constantly drawing bugs, which causes a mess
