"The house is as described, very clean throughout and all modern updated fixing and furniture. The house smelled freshly cleaned and odor free. The house was a bit pricey per night however for sanity reasons. My family said it made them feel at home and for our reason to be there it was effective. Communicating with the owner was pleasant and pretty quick. And I would stay again."

8/10 Good
"A really nice hotel to stay at. It was very clean, easy to get to, and easy to access. There was no staff on site, so this was a new experience for me, but it was super easy to figure out. The hotel is decorated in a bohemian style with a comfortable bed! There was no coffee in my room (I really love coffee in the morning), but there was a Keurig machine available in the lobby. There was also a vending machine in the lobby if you needed snacks. The only downside is that I felt the walls were thin here. I did not have any noise issues during my stay, but I woke up early because I had to get on the road."
