Everything was as advertised. The host was awesome and answered everything right away which was very important. It has a nice area that is gated in for my dog which was also a big plus.

Considering we paid a lot of money for three nights, we were very disappointed in the condition of the property, including a rat that was living in the kitchen. The rat attacked our food on Friday night. The owners were obviously aware of the rat problem as there were traps under the sink. We were tempted to pack up and leave but didn't want to ruin the long planned trip and disappoint our grandchildren. Although the property manager brought new traps, we were not offered any discount or refund for the rental.
