Great location and amenities. We stayed for nights of lights and were able to go walking distance to the historic district (2 miles). The only thing to be aware of in the house is that the windows don’t have shades or curtains and you can completely see your neighbors at night and they can see you in all locations of the house. The house was clean and the host were attentive when our door code was not working at check in. Would recommend.
