Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the space, the views, and found the beds comfortable. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Great communication with host. Really lovely house in a nice location, very clean and well kept. (A dryer and BBQ would have been handy to have).Thank you!
A. Even with assistance from the host, we couldn’t get the sound system to work/ connectB. There were no tables on the deck area to rest food, snacks & drinks on - only a few chairs to sit on, yet the house is designed for indoor/ outdoor flow.Otherwise the setting is great - quiet, nice vista over the valley to the city, well appointed property, comfortable rooms, modern facilities. I highly recommend this property.
