Many perks in this beautiful home. Great kitchen and coffee bar. Separate living with private bathroom and big shower. Small bedroom with comfortable bed. Very clean well cared for home. Half mile walking distance to the Strand. A little pricey compared to other nearby homes and breakfast was not included.
