#### Great house in a great location

Modern and well-appointed house in a convenient location. Good off-street parking and garden. The deck is a great place to have a drink or dinner in summer! The only negative was the double bed in the ground floor bedroom- very uncomfortable. The curtains let in a lot of light in that room too. Apart from that, it was perfect and we'd love to stay there again.
