Apr 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot but steep stairs Really pretty gardens, patio and view. The bedrooms were on the bottom floor which was indicated but what was not made clear is that to get the luggage from the car to the bedrooms you had to go down a steep set of stairs. We ended up leaving our luggage on the main floor. Otherwise it was a great stay ##### Elke C.
