House
We were not happy that there was no cable and the television in two of the three bedrooms did not work. The house itself was beautiful. The cleaning staff should pay more attention to under the couches, there was a lot of stuff under them. The host was very nice and answered any questions right away but did not have the knowledge to fix tv.
