Great location, nice responsive host, kitchen had everything we needed. There were issues with the heating, but the host did bring us a space heater to help. Some furniture was old and stained. And there were some clutter in the patio area… But also lots of plants, and our dog was welcome, and liked the patio area. Overall, a comfortable place in a great location.
