Back yard was muddy, but no one had control over that. The micro-wave was dirty inside, so we didn't use it.

This is the 2nd time i have stayed with this property company and Aaron has been outstanding. We had a family medical emergency and he was abke to accommodate an extra 2 days on the front end of this most recent stay. Can't imagine coming in to St. James and not choosing one of their properties!
