The house was super cute! Two bedrooms and bath, formal living and dining room up front and a mancave area (what my husband claimed) in the back. Past the kitchen is a tv room and another bed/bath plus a sunroom with a mini ping pong table which was so fun! Perfect set up for our small family! There were some broken blinds which they immediately fixed and no driveway for parking which was a bummer. There were a few nails/nuts and bolts, just random items left in windowsills which was odd but not totally off-putting. The main bathroom needs some shower work. Overall, we loved that house and would stay again!
