Alicia's place was great for my parents and I to stay while visiting my brother and his family. The house is pet friendly which is what we need as my brothers dog doesn't stay home alone for long periods. The house had all the things we needed to have a good Christmas and prepare meals. The only two things we saw areas for improvement were the lack of light on the main floor once it gets dark - some floor lamps would easily solve this problem. And the TV is in the basement, so if you have little kids or older people staying here they will need to traverse wooden stairs to the basement to watch TV. Otherwise this house was a great fit for us and the hot water was amazing!!
