The house is very nice. The couch and chairs where filthy need cleaned or replaced. Shower door was reported as glass panel coming off, it was repaired and before we left it was coming off the hinge again. Nice house but apparently a previous guest had a frat party and stained the bed spread and furniture and these things should have been replaced before we arrived!
