Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Large house, gorgeous view. The listing says there is a hottub but there is not. The host is trying to pass off a 1 person inflatable pool as a hottub. WiFi did not work for most of the stay and communication with the host about this and in general was incredibly frustrating. The 3rd bedroom is at the top of the stairs off the main living area and only has a half door
