10/10 Excellent

"We booked this house for JMU graduation and loved the location. The house was a perfect size for a family. There are four bedrooms and a basement with a couch. The kitchen is huge and well equipped with everything you would need. The living room was a great place to hang out. The house is within walking distance to the JMU campus (close to the stadium side of campus). The hosts were so easy to work with and very responsive to questions prior to our visit. Highly recommend!"
