This was a great place to spend Thanksgiving! The host was so responsive to all of my questions. I messed up the booking and Dan fixed it up for us no problem. The condo was clean and comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook onsite. Beds were good. Shower was amazing. This was an overall great stay. Thanks Dan!
