The house was just lovely. The kitchen had just about everything you could want. It made cooking so easy. There is a wonderful little wood burning stove that was extremely cozy. The appliances in the home were easy to use and worked wonderfully The house is quiet and up above the city so you almost seem to be in the country. It was just a joy to stay in this property.
