Communication: our host was incredibly communicative and was warm and welcoming, providing us clear direction for the house. The house itself was charming and fit my family comfortably and had everything we needed for two children, two adults and a senior. It was clean, well furnished and well maintained.The location was central to everything we wanted to see and do and made getting around quite easy. There was also a grocery store and number of convenience stores around which was tremendously helpful. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend this space especially for those travelling with a larger group.
