May 25, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family Visit The house was great for children. My parents stayed for a week and my daughters (age 5 and 1) visted with them at the vrbo (with permission from hosts). They had children's dishes and utensils stocked. A pack n play and a few games and toys were also available. The outdoor area was nice and included many childrens items as well. My parents and children had a great time. The house was clean and hosts are friendly. Would highly recommend! ##### Leandra L.
