Communication with host was easy so check in process was smooth. House is spacious and clean, as were the grounds. Overall exceptional stay for our large family!

This is a prime location for events happening on Techs campus. I would suggest tankless water heaters to supply a house that size with plenty of hot water. We staggered our showers so we didn’t have a problem. Signs were posted in bathrooms. Really enjoyed our stay.
