Sep 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Host was awesome with quick responses to any questions we had. For us the property was close to where we needed to be . This next fact may be of importance to people traveling with family but water pressure in showers were very strong even with both showers going at the same time . Again can’t say enough about the quick response by the host to any questions or concerns ##### Marc S.
