We had a wonderful stay. The place was immaculate, aesthetically pleasing, great location and accommodations were superb. The host was always prompt with any questions we have and was gracious!
This home is beautiful and in a really quite neighborhood. From the check in process, to the end of our stay, we highly enjoyed this property. The rooms were very nice and had all of the amenities you could want. The Nespresso coffee maker was a pleasant surprise as well. We were able to have family over and enjoy the yard and the porch with a nice view. The hosts were very responsive and helpful anytime we had questions. They happily extend your stay and accommodated us in every way. I'm so happy to have found it and I hope to stay here again. I will definetly recommend it to others as well. We loved our stay!
