We had a great stay at this cozy house. It was nicely furnished, very clean, and the fully equipped kitchen had everything we needed. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. We really enjoyed our time here.
Nice neighborhood. Loved that each bedroom had an en suite bathroom. Plus a powder room in addition. Enjoyed the open concept living room/dining room/kitchen. The deck was well equipped with seating & dining table.
