Absolutely loved my stay! The location was perfect, the host’s communication was top-notch, and the on-site staff were incredibly helpful even offering great local recommendations for food and activities. Honestly, the only reason I hesitate to write this review is because I want to keep this hidden gem all to myself! But they truly deserve the praise. Highly recommend!
