the house was lovely, very charming and beautiful. be advised that there are a TON of mosquitos on the back porch (so much so that you can't really walk out there without being bitten several times, especially at night), the house certainly felt like it was someone's home (there was clothing in the closets, even in the washer/dryer (for which we had to buy detergent), and the dishwasher smelled a little funny when we first arrived so we resorted to washing everything by hand, but other than those small things everything was lovely.
