I rented this home for my mom and her husband to celebrate her 65th birthday. She said it was far better in person than it was depicted. Accurately described. Great restaurants within walking distance . I will definitely rent this home again. Also, the host is incredibly kind. My mom was struggling to parallel park. She kindly came out and parked my mom’s car.
