It was a really beautiful and well-maintained property close to a lot of fun dining, nature, and shopping experiences. We were also automatically upgraded which was very kind. The only problem was that there was construction going on during the day and early evening that we didn't know about before we arrived. We were able to just stay away from the property during that time. Other than that, it was perfect.

Jessica was an amazing host. The house is beautiful & comfortable. Parking and accessibility to house and rooms was easy. The breakfasts she prepared were delicious, everything from scratch. We could not recommend Thames house anymore!
