"We enjoyed our stay here - the space accommodates a large group and the host was quick with communication. Just to note the large room on the second floor has a water pump and ac unit in the closet so it does get pretty noisy whenever anyone in the house is using water. We had an issue with water that the host was quick to send maintenance for repairs. Nice neighborhood and walking distance to many things."
