Big, friendly house!
Great location. Grocery close by, lovely walkable neighborhood. Property managers very responsive. Lovely yard. We had a couple of larger family gatherings (12 people) and was a great space for it. The playroom was a favorite place for our 4 year old guest!We would gladly stay here again, and since family is here, we will be back!
