Great stay.House had good air conditioning.What stood out was the little things that made life easier for example dishwasher power, hand soap, shampoo and conditioner and body wash in bathrooms and toilet paper.Good instructions to get the key for the house.Only slight negative was I was given password for wifi which was incorrect and I just looked in the book about the house for the right one.Thanks for a great stay.Will definitely stay again in the future
