Host was very welcoming and great communication. The extra blankets are always a bonus. The scenery was beautiful and such a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room to spread out in the house. Christmas decorations were a special touch. Having the extra kitchen amenities and condiments were helpful. The weather was so nice we got to enjoy the outside patio furniture. Would def recommend staying here & would rent again.
