Beautiful location, views and place was clean. clear and effective communication from the host who answered all our questions and I highly recommend this place. The only thing I found was that since we had our 23 months old, we had to be on guard making sure she stayed safe while exploring but she enjoyed outdoors… otherwise the place is beautiful.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and recommendation! We're so pleased you enjoyed the location, the views, and found everything clean, with communication that made your stay easy. A 23-month-old certainly keeps parents on their toes—they have a way of making sure we're always alert! We hope she also gave you plenty of opportunities to relax and unwind while enjoying the outdoors.
