Great spot for your family in town for graduation. Accommodated eight of us comfortably. Very convenient to campus. Good communication from the management company, answered a number of questions I asked before we arrived to make sure we knew what to expect at the property.

It’s a nice property in good condition. Quiet neighborhood and convenient to get to. The house was well appointed and had everything we needed. Very convenient in that each group had its own full bath.
