"We booked this property for our parents, who are seniors, and they had a wonderful stay. The property was exceptionally clean, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. Our host was absolutely lovely—so friendly, helpful, and genuinely concerned about making sure our parents were comfortable. We really appreciated how kind and accommodating she was. The only thing that would make the property even more accessible for seniors or guests with mobility challenges would be a handrail on the outdoor stairs leading to the property. Our host was very understanding and concerned about this, which we truly appreciated. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property."
