On day of check in we received an email asking what time we would arrive and received no reply as to the address to find the exact location for the accommodation. By deduction and luck we drove around and around until by chance we found it.
Host was very good in supplying iron and ironing board on request.
Had to buy laundry detergent and no dryer.
