The host is super pleasant and communicative. The house is huge and was perfect to host our family get together. The house is older and there could be minor repairs done to spruce up some of the damaged areas. They do have huge couches to sleep in the living room if you have a big family. Be prepared like the other reviews on this is a live in house, there are personal items all over in the bedrooms. It is a pleasant stay if you have kids or family get together.
