The house was clean - the kitchenette is not great - mini fridge worked ok but freezer compartment was frozen over - coffee pot did not work very good at all. Bathroom very nice - only 2 people at a time allowed on balcony because of structure issues . Had to park on street . Shops are near . Town is very quaint .

Visited the area in winter — The room was inviting, very clean and tidy; beds comfortable, and spacious for the purpose of relaxing. Host was a great communicator, and it was an easy check-in and out. In addition, it was very close to the downtown; I felt we could have walked if we had chosen to make the adventure.
