Overall was great for our large family group. Only things we would have liked to see were room darkening shades or curtains for the bedrooms and a better couch. Otherwise we were very pleased with the appliances, wifi, air conditioning, laundry room, nice large living/dining space, the 2 1/2 baths and the office.

Has potential, but just ok

Starting with the positives, plenty of toiletries, tp, paper towels. Decently equipped kitchen. Nice size house and updated bathrooms. Plenty of closet space for longer stay. Misses: bathroom towel rack falling out of wall; missing curtains on window because curtain rod was missing; living room furniture was atrocious, lumpy couch with throw cover - seems like it came from goodwill; dining room table and several chairs rickety; only 2 forks in kitchen; ice and water not working on fridge - took 10 days and multiple requests to fix; cabinet doors falling off hinges; no propane with gas grill - had to go purchase ourselves. The house has alot potential, they just need to put about 2k in to get decent dining and living room furniture and fix all of the things falling apart.
