Response from VrboOwner on 20 June 2021
Stephen was a perfect guest and would be pleased to have him stay again.
Not only that but he was clean and tidy, leaving the apartment with less to do than normal on swap over.
The property is a nice and tidy place with all the necessary things taken cared of. It is well managed. Redford is a small but beautiful and peaceful town and easily accessible to the near by places. The canal side walk is beautiful.
Had a lovely stay here for just under a month. Good location and very clean and practical. Would definitely recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Anthony
I am semi retired and enjoy putting the underutilised area of my house to some good use. I have pride in how the apartment is presented and how welcoming the apartment will be for the tenants. I have looked after holiday homes and property for many years.
Why they chose this property
It is as new. the property was restored last year so everything is 'new'. Including latest safety features, electricity supply and gas and heating.
What makes this property unique
It is an amazing experience of living in this little peaceful haven, just with the sounds of the canal and the wild life....lots of bird song.....but be just 5-10 minute walk from the bustling centre of a historic market town.
