Rented for almost a year
The house is on a quiet dead-end street and all the neighbors are very friendly. It is situated close to all major roads and there is lots of room and storage in the house. Any time I had any problems, Judy was right there to take care of it. I would recommend this to other people looking for a place to stay.
