"The property was beautiful and clean. We were very pleased with all the amenities like a gaming console, TV, and washer/dryer. The host was friendly and helpful. The only feedback we would like to give is that our check in/check out information was slightly delayed. It would be helpful to send the information before the check in time, but we did receive the instructions within 10-15 minutes after arriving, so it was not a big problem. Great price and nice place. We would stay here again"
