This host was great at communicating with us! As for the home, the location was super close to local attractions. We loved that the home was clean and uncluttered! The kitchen appeared well stocked with dishes, pans, etc, though we enjoyed the downtown restaurants during our stay.. that were only minutes away. The neighbors seemed to be super quiet. The backyard was fully fenced-in which was perfect for our dogs. We travel with clean-air machines so the highway noise was not overly bothersome to us. We really appreciated this host and the home.
