Great deal for 3 bedrooms with 3 bathrooms. great communication with the owners, they responded even if it was late at 12am. Space was clean. shower spaces are a bit small. Had a bit of an issue with the temperature. the place was cozy and too warm for our tastes, we had to open the windows. overally great value if you are travelling with a big family ##### Ann Margaret Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Shuk Ching Apr 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Clean & good beds for holiday.
