Mary is very responsive. The house was nice but there were some ants. There is a lot of foot traffic from a nearby neighborhood. I would suggest you do a google earth view of the neighborhood first. The houses right next door have very quite neighbors, who were very nice. The nearby neighborhood was a lot less desirable. Over all for the money , if you have a large group, like we did; it’s a great price and lots of room. We cooked while we were there and we used the outdoor space. If I had to rate it on the host alone, I would say 10 but the location is not very good.
