Summary: A great location and if you are looking for a functional corporate style space then this house fits the statement - however if you are expecting a cosy home then this is not for you. The furnishings are as expected from a standard rental not a home - the bathrooms are functional and offer a corporate feel. The kitchen has a drip coffee but no K-cup which was surprising, no stem glasses which again was odd. The house missed the little touches that you would have hoped would have been there if someones actual home or managed by the owner rather than a corporate entity - overall was good but not excellent - but good value for money
