Aug 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Cute house, has almost everything & great location. We were there for a couple of weeks and enjoyed our stay. The kitchen and bathroom were clean and the house tidy. The cookware and crockery does need an update, and the mattress in the main bedroom was uncomfortable but overall we had a lovely stay. ##### Helen S.
