We were pleased with the location and delighted with the space. however, to much clutter or many little distractions. Dolls, objects, furniture and things that one might break or fall and hurt a child! Also, it was as clean downstairs as one would have hoped because there was so much stuff throughout. It seemed that someone was living their full time and left in a hurry having left the laundry room door open and trash unattended too! Other than that, our stay was fun and would recommend others to consider staying at the property as well as us! Really don't want to sound negative simply thinking out loud just in case you'll wanted to make some changes or upgrades! ##### Albert G.
