First and foremost communicating with Claudia is fantastic! She responded quickly and made sure that I was able to ask and get answers to any questions I had before and during my stay.
As for the surrounding area, it's absolutely beautiful and stunning. The house itself is located on a semi busy & narrow street with traffic passing by often during the day but I could not hear the traffic at all during my stay. At night the street was so quiet with hardly no traffic. I felt very safe walking around the neighborhood. The place is located a few blocks from the river and large parks and several local stores & eateries. The walk is short and easy. It's a very short drive to the airport.
Immediately when I walked into the house I was impressed with it. The pictures are true to what is posted and the decorations are nice. The house was easy to figure out without needing any instructions. The beds are comfortable. The water pressure in the shower is great too. And there were no delays for the hot water. The wifi works well throughout the house. And I had strong cell service with no issues. The washer and dryer was easy to use (Laundry soap was provided). She provided ample amounts of bath towels to use during our stay.
There were kitchen essentials such as pots and pans. With that being said, the house could use more items for someone like me that cooks all my meals at home. But if you do not use the full kitchen, it is plentiful.
The living room was comfortable to sit and relax watching TV which again was easy to use without any instructions or complications.
Just one thing to keep in mind, the stairs leading to the upstairs area is pretty steep for someone that may be elder. I stayed downstairs which posed no problems for me.
Checking in and out was easy with Claudia's instructions. Would I rent the Village House again? Absolutely!! It's a great place. I think it was a great value & price for the stay. We liked it so much and the area: my sister in law who was on the trip with me said she loved it so much she would consider living there full time!
