I would stay in this home again in a heartbeat! The location was perfect - relatively quiet neighborhood, walkable to good food, tree lined streets, close to the lake. The home was beautiful. Of note, pictures do not show it but the glass door to the balcony off the master DOES have a shade on it. They nailed everything - big & small. Everything we needed was there. They had tons of toys for young children in the den. There were labels for light switches. There was a sound machine in the main floor bedroom. They had hygiene products in the showers. The master bed & sheets were SO comfortable & my kids said their beds were great too. The master bathtub made for a perfect soak. There were blankets to curl up with on the couch. My 10 year old had a choice to sleep on the fold out couch in the den or on the air mattress I brought in the master. THEN he discovered the HUGE walk in closet off the master bath. He chose that for his room & was happy as a clam.There were fans, which were helpful especially in the little closet lair my son used. The master shower was lovely. The home had great curb appeal & being able to put my car in the garage was a very nice bonus, especially on the day it stormed. The only downside I can possibly come up with is the air traffic. The planes are loud. But this was made known upfront & you got used to them quickly, just like the trains we hear at home. I sent an email after 10 pm one night and they responded quickly. Book this - you’ll love it!

One of the nicest vacation homes I’ve stayed in—especially in a large city. Great neighborhood, terrific house to rent with kids. Highly recommend!

The property was as advertised and very clean. The beds were comfortable and the property was a short walk from some great restaurants and shops. Depending on the wind direction there could be some airplane traffic right over the house that was a little loud at times. Quick trip to the airport to pick up and drop off guests, but you get the noise.

The home was very well stocked with all the necessities. The only issue was that the iron did not work, so we had to have one delivered from Target. Also, the deck/furniture was not clean, so we didn't use it.
