This house was great for our party of 11 and also hosted a 14 person Christmas dinner with no problems. It was a little tight around the table, but there were plenty of chairs and we didn't seat anyone at the bar, which was our choice. We did pick up a few aluminum tins to supplement the baking pans, but there are alot of stovetop options in the house. Sleeping arrangements worked out great, the kids love the games in the basement and the park a block away. One thing to be aware of - if you go to the Costco 3 blocks away, it is a Business Center Costco, which is a bit different than the regular ones. We got almost all we needed there (eggs, bread, cheese, milk, fresh lettuce) but did have to make an expected run to TJ's for some of the frozen foods we thought Costco would have.
