The home had a nice layout and decor in a quite neighborhood. The location was great for me and my family and the home and yard was comfortable. Shawn's friend Ricki was very helpful and at the home to greet us when we arrived. Thanks to mother nature our stay was during a very hot spell and with no air conditioning, only fans, it made things hot and sticky attracting ants into the home as well. As long as you keep things clean you should be able to keep them out. On our final day the power went out. Ricki and Aurelio were there to check in on us but the power needed to be restored to the neighborhood by the power company and was done so within a few hours. The cat was cute and easy to make a friend with, but if you are not a cat person this is not the place for you as the cat is very affectionate, likes attention and full roam of the house including sleeping with you and you are asked to feed her daily.
