Most renters know that a good rental is not just about the property, but just as importantly, about the relationship with the landlord. In this age of increasing corporate dominance of the short-term rental market, it is refreshing to be able to deal directly with property owners who actually inhabit the property. This rental is N and M'S long-loved home. They have intimate knowledge of its workings and quirks that an arms-length landlord simply can't match. More importantly, they treat their renters with respect. They never intrude, but are very responsive if needed. As for the property itself, the house has everything you need. If you work from home you will have a fiber optic internet connection. The location can't be beat. You're in the heart of town, and yet in a peaceful environment. The location is a walker's paradise. We enjoyed our summer stay, and recommend this rental without reservation.
