The place is as pictured, plenty of room for us (me, husband, dog) and in a nice, quiet neighborhood. It is a bit far from things (11 miles to grocery store, etc.) The carpet could have used a good steam cleaning and a better vacuuming job. I found long black hair on the floor near the bathroom sink when we first arrived. We found a vacuum in the garage, but it was so clogged up, it would not pick up anything. My husband and I spent about 15 minutes unclogging it so we could vacuum up some of our dog's hair during our 10 day stay. We started hearing a chirp from the smoke detector about halfway through our stay, so I emailed our contact, but we never got a response from her. Ultimately, we were happy with our stay, but I'd recommend a new vacuum and to steam clean the bedroom carpets more often.
