Good Location, lots of beds
We enjoyed the house and the location. Unfortunately we were challenged by a few things.
The master bedroom is very large and has a great bath and closet. There is plenty of storage. The bed in the master was comfortable but the plastic mattress cover was a bit of a challenge. It was loud whenever we moved but we made do. I had to clean the master bath floor as it was quite sticky on bare feet but it was a lovely bathroom once I took care of that.
The kitchen was a challenge. There were not enough dishes and silverware for our dinners and desserts for 10 people. The first night I tried to cook a lasagna and it would not heat through, it was in there over 2 hours. We figured out why the oven didn't work well it was because there was foil covering the racks which blocked the airflow and heat distribution in the oven. We removed it and were able to use it in a timely manner after that. We replaced it before we left. The dishwasher didn't work very well but we made do by rewashing it twice.
The TV in the living room didn't work and we had to have the provider come out, twice. They never did get it resolved as they needed to upgrade the equipment and I could not give them permission.
This would be a great house for a large family with all of the beds on the 3rd floor. This is a nice house but has some challenges. We only rented this to have family dinners and it was not really good for that. if cooking is not the focus of your trip it would be a good place to rent.
