The house was clean and cozy. Had to contact the host as the lock was not allowing us in at our check in time. She fixed it quickly. Really nice, friendly and quiet neighborhood within walking distance to shops/restaurants and lakes. My only complaint about the house is it’s a bit noisy going up and down the stairs, as it is an older house. If you are a light sleeper you hear everything. We enjoyed our stay very much.
