Very nice home
The home was clean and had everything we needed to feel right at home. The location was great and the view of the sunsets and city lights from the backyard were amazing. Only con was that it backed up to a rather busy street and there was some traffic noise when outdoors. We couldnā€™t hear anything inside which was nice.
