This property is across the street from my son and his family, so its location is its most appealing feature for me. It's reasonably clean and comfortable, and was surprisingly warm and toasty on a cold winter weekend. It's not exceptional (weird floor plan, bed is ultra firm, art is not my style,) but I was overall happy with it until the door keypad locked me out at 6:30 am the morning I was set to check out when I went to the grocery store to pick up eggs for breakfast. Fortunately, I had my car keys and purse and jacket, as the temperature was only 25 degrees and dropping, and my son lives across the street. And fortunately I wasn't in the middle of packing my car to catch a flight when I got locked out, as my luggage was locked inside the property, and it was an hour before I could get ahold of someone and for her to re-set the keypad. (The back-up lock box with a key didn't work either.) It was a holiday, and early morning, and the woman I reached was very nice, but I could see this being a real problem for someone who has to catch a flight, and perhaps has their important stuff (laptop, etc.) locked inside the unit. So, I'm including mention of this so future guests are aware. I have stayed at some really excellent VRBOs over the years, so I hesitate to give this one 5 stars, but then, I may want to stay here again because of its perfect location, and would like to have that option, so I feel like maybe I should. It's very good. Not excellent though...
