Review Score:   6
Summary: The house was in a nice neighborhood. Even though the porch looks onto the street, there was very little traffic. The neighborhood was VERY hilly, so walking the dog is a challenge. Bathrooms could have been cleaner, and there was a problem with musty towels that VACASA rectified. The seats in the living room are uncomfortable and hard, not conducive to watching football or a movie. Beds were comfortable. Water pressure great. Wi-Fi great and TV had many channels. Home is a short, easy drive to downtown Highlands. All roads are paved, and no crazy mountains to drive.
