First, I had seen one review mentioning the quality of the deck. It has been replaced and was in great condition. Sadly, we were here during the weekend of Hurricane Harvey so we didn't get to enjoy the BBQ or outside much. That being said, there is a huge TV, great kitchen, fast internet and comfortable furniture. You can congregate in the living room or spread out. We had one (very minor) issue with the front door and Greg was super responsive and it was fixed in minutes. You are 5 minutes away from some fantastic new neighborhoods (north end I think) and with that you get new options for shopping and restaurants. Great owner, great house, great neighborhood. I highly suggest this property.
