Big House

Overall the house is good. We were their first Stayz clients so there were little things that didn’t match Stayz standards. However Ramos was quick to remedy the problems. I have written a list for him to bring it up to scratch. The house is very large and with 2 lounge areas. A good kitchen with ovens, big fridge and microwave there will be enough crockery and cutlery. The house now has brand new blankets. A good air conditioning system. They don’t have a dryer but washing lines outside in the sun. The pool and spa are only available in summer. If you have a car that’s fine however Ramos has an excellent driver not expensive who is wonderful.
