It was exactly as described! We had permission prior to arriving to have 2 extra children so it was a bit cramped but we were aware of that. My son is a big fan of Superman so it was perfect!

This place is a great little getaway! I did a solo trip and it was perfect. It was a great temp all the time, everything was clean and felt fresh, the host answered all my questions beforehand so I was comfortable booking, you get set up with pots and pans and literally everything you need. And they do not emphasize the shower enough!!!! There's two shower heads that have regular and the rainfall kind. Literally THE most relaxing thing ever. This place was great, if you're thinking of booking, do it !
