Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Had a wonderful time staying here, the house is very spacious and the kitchen had everything we needed. Jamie was very responsive when we ran into a small issue with the oven and resolved it very quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Yes, yes yes.

My only hesitation to giving this review is that it will encourage other people to stay there and I hope it’s not all booked up so we can stay there again ourselves, haha. Everything about the house was perfect.
