It was good, there was everything needed. Clean and not too far from campus. Was greated with w lovely bottle of wine too. Appreciate the thought in everything.
The Portage place was super convenient to Notre Dame and a nice get away from all the game weekend crowds!
The house is very comfortable and organized, making it easy to find everytjimg we needed. They even provided ponchos in case of rain (which we needed!)ORGANIZED... makit i
Neighborhood was great. We were there for the football game, so we were a little further away from campus, but we knew that going in when we picked the place, so hard to fault the property for that!
