The house was exactly as pictured. So clean and fresh with large gathering rooms, and a full kitchen with everything we needed. We were able to bring our whole large size family into town for a wedding without hesitation or worry. Plenty of parking, a basketball hoop, and an outdoor firepit made the house perfect for great entertainment. We were able to find a place for everyone to sleep, eat, and visit. We enjoyed our time and our communication with Joe was fast, efficient, and helpful.
