This property was just as advertised. Lots of beds and 2 kitchens. There were a few things I ddin't notice when booking...there is no table. If you want to eat as a group or play games, you are out of luck. There are barstools and plenty of counter space. Upstairs bathroom is great for kids, but super small and has no mirror. We had trouble with locking one of the doors, but the owner was very communicative and helped us troubleshoot. Overall it was a nice stay. We were a little disappionted that there was zero flexibility with late check out, but it was just as advertised.
