A beautifully presented home, easy to find, a good variety of games available. No WiFi but this wasn't too much of an issue for us. Plenty of linens. Our kids loved the novelty of bunk beds!Biggest downside for us was cookware and dining table too small for the number of guests that can be accommodated.
