This was a very charming home, obviously loved by the owner. It was cozy and welcoming, and centrally located. We enjoyed our stay and especially loved the welcome basket provided by the host and all the little "extras" that we found throughout the home. We were given nicely detailed information about check in/check out, where things were located to visit, good restaurants to visit and super easy instructions on how to watch TV. Our host was so helpful and answered our questions promptly. We would definitely choose this location and this host again!
