This was a nice clean and open space to bring children. It had everything you needed and very neatly labeled kitchen drawers and cabinets, light switches and remoted. Rules were posted and clear. I did not like the parking becsause my chevy equinox barely fit in the spot and the dirt patch mentioned for additional parking was small. The bed was hard and the pillows were SO thick and hard. You could hear the nearby traffic all night. The flooring was in rough shape. It was fine for an overnight stay.

Convenient location

Home was located in a nice neighborhood and convenient to the college 15 minutes away. Property was clean and used basically to sleep. Parking was somewhat congested so if you have more than one larger vehicle it might be an issue. This was addressed in the listing itself so I went expecting this. I would stay here again.
