"James was a great host. We were flying in from Indiana for my brother’s funeral and James went above and beyond to help us with questions and was very responsive. The condo was very clean. The only thing I didn’t expect is the stairs we would have to climb to get to the second floor. With three women and luggage my older sisters wanted to kill me! But we will forever have that memory.
