Would recommend. The only downside is the drive needs some maintenance especially as you turn in. There is a chance of grounding the car and the pot holes are enormous. If this were fixed it would be absolutely perfect.

Clean and comfortable and modern in design. Outside area was private with lots of room for my 3 year old grandson to run and play. Highly recommended.
