Sons graduation

Due to a last minute change Heath allowed us to have my son’s college graduation party at this house in the afternoon. It worked perfect to stay at and accommodated us perfectly.

Lots of space, comfortable place to stay

The house was in an extremely quiet neighborhood, close to grocery stores and campus. It was just me, so I had more bedrooms than I needed, and the master bedroom bed was super comfortable. Easy check in and easy check out!

Perfect for a family get together!

We rented this house as a family get together for my son’s birthday. Worked out perfectly. The level just below the kitchen area as an air hockey machine which the kids loved and was a great area for all of us to gather and watch him open presents. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone.

House is a lot smaller and older than the photos show.

1) The living room and the kitchen are a lot smaller than the photos show. They can accommodate a group of 6, but not larger than that. Definitely not 12. Plus, the appliances are outdated.2) The layout of the house isn’t easy to use, and 4 bedrooms have to share 1 bathroom! One bathroom is in the master suite, and another one is in the basement (far from bedrooms). Therefore practically 4 bedrooms have to share one bathroom.3) The bedroom in the basement isn’t really usable as a water drain is exposed right next to the bed.4) Some bedroom windows don’t have curtains. There weren’t enough Kleenex and toilet paper, or even a hairdryer. But the owner responded to our request quickly.
