The whole home was impeccably clean and beautiful. I loved all the beautiful textiles, the way the curtain matched the coffee table etc. Parking was also so so handy and everywhere we needed to go was within 25min drive due to how close the bypass was. Hopefully we'll be able to stay again in the summer and make use of the outside space.
