Quick trip for a work project

My husband and I stayed for a quick work trip. The home is older, but well cared for. There were fans and a solid AC - which fended off the even-hot-for-TX May temps. There were even ice cubes and chilled/filtered water in the fridge when we arrived. A coffee-shop and grocery store are very close by. And it worked great for us as our project destination was only minutes away.

Hot

We got there on Fri, set the thermostat, went out to eat. Got back, and it was warm...but, it was ok. Sat. left for a few hours, got back, and it was hot. Called Tim, he was so helpful, sent out an AC guy, and Natalie was very helpful, went and bought 2 box fans, they helped a little. They have some electrical problems.....Tim refunded our money, which we appreciate very much!! We were in town for grandkids tournament, and I'm sure we will be back one day. I will book again . House is cute, and very clean.
