A lot of updating has been done to this home to make it feel safe and secure, incredibly clean, comfortable (eg, modern mattresses), extra amenities (extra toilet paper, tissues, shampoo, linens, etc -- things that other vacation rentals do not always have!), the updated property shows recently painted walls, new kitchen appliances, and newer other furnishings. Although we didn't use the pool table, it is a fun feature. Two things to note: the outdoor area (back yard) has not been updated and we would not consider it useable; second, the driveway is very small but useable to be able to park one car off the street. Our overall rating is 5 stars for this comfortable home with very easy access to Charlotte.
