Apr 19, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent host and property The property was perfect for our short break with our puppy and really well thought out for families. We only needed to bring ourselves and our cloths as everything else that you need is there. There were welcoming treats for when you arrive and the backyard is great for kids and puppy to play. The communication was easy and Helene makes sure you have all the information by text so you don’t have to go back your emails. The area is very quiet and peaceful and worked for us as we had no intention of going anywhere. There isn’t really anything much walking distance being the only downside I can see. ##### Tina L.
