Themis stay was absolutely perfect. All aspects of the property are just wonderful. The backyard is beautiful with a wonderful pool. Perfect place for a getaway or family vacation. More than anything, I would say the host made our stay for us. They were incredibly flexible, hospitable and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable.
Ann’s property is a lovely home away from home. Much care and detail has gone into making the home comfortable and functional for guests. Everything is very clearly marked and explained for guests. The house is spacious and can host a large family and the neighborhood is quiet and close to shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful time and will keep it mind for future visits.
