Great home for a Leal wedding.
Great home for our family, including a 15 month old, as we celebrated our son’s wedding at Leal. Very good location and close to everything we needed. The high chair and portable crib were a big plus for us. Very nice outdoor space. The only negative is that the BBQ needs to be replaced.
