Sep 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Very cozy, welcoming property. James is lovely and a very accommodating host. Very responsive. And the enclosed patio, surrounded by greenery, is a real plus. Beds are very comfortable. We were three women. But the set-up is also good for families. ##### Linda M.
