Good location, across from a park so not just more homes. Kitchen was nice had everything you would really need. Very clean, towels and sheets and all that was left out. Even shampoo and soap for the shower. Had an issue with the front gate one day and they responded almost immediately and sent someone to fix it right away, so great communication. Would stay again, home is in a good location close to city and congress.

My family and myself enjoyed staying at this beautiful home! It was extremely spacious and the perfect home to host my family that was visiting from out of town. Also, the host was extremely helpful and responsive, provided clear cut instructions to get access into the home. It was also super peaceful at night, basically could hear a pin drop which was perfect for the kids to get a good night of rest. Will definitely keep this place in my favorites for future visits!
