The house has its own personality. It's super spacious and comfortable, fresh and clean. The rooms are comfortable. My family had an amazing time. The hosts were always available and willing to provide support. The area is quiet and has its own parking lot. In short, it's a great choice as a 100% recommended place to stay. We'll definitely be back.
