Nice house

House was nice. Kitchen had everything we needed. Would stay again. Would suggest different pillows. The bathrooms needed hooks to hang towels and robes. The app with the house was not user friendly. The app did not provide all the info. We had to go back and forth between app and booking to get all info. I would not bother with the app next time.
