As the August 2016 reviewer notes, the house is beautiful, well located, etc. Our fault that we didn't read that review before renting. Even our teenagers were grossed out by the cats lounging on the kitchen counters and dining room table. We felt we had to sanitize the counters prior to cooking, and could not keep the cats at bay. We only planned to cook breakfast, but gave up on that. If your cats are also counter cats (ours are not) you may be fine with this situation. We also were grossed out by the kitty litter box adjacent to the kitchen (in front of the brown cabinet in photo "Kitchen"), which was quite smelly by day 3 and easily led the cats to track litter into the kitchen floor and counters. Just not our cup of tea.
