We stayed at Joel's house over the 4th of July. His home was quite spacious and well furnished. The beds were very comfortable and there was a large screen TV in every bedroom as well as in the main living area. The air conditioning is a "swamp cooler" which, being from the midwest, I was completely unfamiliar with. Joel was quick to respond to my messages, even over a holiday, and easily described what I needed to do and even sent photos. As our stay overlapped a holiday and we had family in town, we did very little other than sleep in the house. But the kitchen did appear to be well equipped (pots, pans, cooking utensils, pressure cooker, knife sets, etc.) and the backyard looked to be well suited for an evening of entertainment. The house was also immaculately cleaned. Joel, thank you for allowing us to stay at your house!
