Great accomodations in the house. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathrroom which was a plus. The only need was the downstairs bathroom shower never got hot. I think you may need to adjust the settings in this bathroom. We ended up using the other one since it had hot water.

Excellent house for whole family
My siblings and I rented this house so we could be near our Mom at TFAD. (IYKYK) This house was in a great location, has a driveway that can hold three cars plus street parking, and is fully loaded! We cooked a ton of large meals so we could stock our Mother's freezer and this house was perfect! The air conditioning was excellent too.
