Lovely house!

We were very comfortable here and the owner was very responsive. Important to note that this house is only for a maximum of 3 guests which it says in the ad, but I did not notice initially. The second bedroom is a single with a desk which was convenient for us as my husband needed to work.

Dear Stacey, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your stay at our villa. We apologize for any confusion regarding the maximum number of guests allowed in our rental. Our listing clearly states that the villa can accommodate a maximum of 3 people. You booked it for 2 people as per VRBO notice. Yet later you wrote you wanted 4 to stay in my villa. I was kind to say…..watch out….not possible….only max 3. The villa was renovated and it is ideal for 2 people, max 3. I was happy to host you twice. Thanks for being a return customer.

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. I stayed there for 10 days. Two out of the 10 was spent indoors working remotely without any issues related to excessive noise. The rental property is clean. There was an unexpected issue that occurred during my stay. However, Alice was prompt in addressing the matter. I definitely recommend staying here if you are traveling for work, or are vacationing with family.
