This house was awesome in so many ways. The renovation, decor and location were perfect. There's even a cute little yard. It was nicely stocked with everything we needed and was very clean. The only drawback was that the house was COLD. We stayed in January. Even though we had the individual room heaters on, the downstairs areas were never comfortably warm. The upstairs has central heat/ac, so those areas did get comfortably cozy. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here.
