This was a perfect stay for my family- comfortable beds, clean, stunning views, and a nice quiet neighborhood. Attentive and responsive host, easy check in/check out. Part of this trip was for work, and both the office and the desk in the bedroom were great for this.

Area was very quiet and the view from window was spectacular. But the bedding for folding bed had some kind of smell and downstairs restroom also had bad smell. The property was little too small for 4 adults and 2 kids.
