Excellent property and host

This property was exactly as advertised, well located with good local amenities. The property itself was clean, well provisioned and a great place to stay. Liz and Little Alex were very community and went out of their way to accommodate when there was the potential of flight issues affecting my checkout.Would only consider not recommending in case it makes it easier to rebook next time I’m on the island! ;)
