Response from VrboOwner on 22 February 2026
Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that your group settled in comfortably during your stay.
It is also great to know that the nearby dining options were convenient and within walking distance.
We appreciate your comments about the ensuite. The upstairs spa bath does include a shower head attachment for added flexibility, although it is not designed as a conventional enclosed shower unit. Your note is helpful as we continue to look for ways to improve guest comfort.
It was a pleasure to host you. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
Kind regards,
Reputations and Resolutions Team
