Dave and Jill are very reliable and likeable pople. There is only them living in the house now, but there are many extra rooms, since the time their children lived at home. The house was even nicer than represented on the listing page. Very wonderful. It is on three floors so good to keep that in mind. The only drawback is the heavy traffic on the road it stands by, but we got used to it quickly. People from big cities probably would not notice it.
