Nice House, Strange Area

The inside of the property is beautiful. If we could pick this property up and place it somewhere else, it would be almost perfect. There was plenty of space and beds for our family. The aesthetic allowed for many photo opportunities, which we took advantage of. It took a while to correct the strange smell (a mixture of cats and paint) and the washer does not work properly. Overall, it was pleasant experience.
