Cleanliness is important and…It was very clean. All appliances were up-to-date.Great communication. Very convenient for our needs. Keep in mind the spiral staircase plus a pet gate attached to them may be a trip hazard.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Mar, 2026
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your comments about cleanliness. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. The gate is definitely a pain but a necessity for children. We are looking into an alternative staircase if it can be done. Fingers crossed. Thank you for choosing A Lil' Nauti.
