Loved our stay. House was super spacious and perfect for us. Communication with the host was great. Only issues we had were there wasn't any dishcloth and wasn't enough pillows as we had to buy some and there were a lack of towels but wasn't a huge issue as the washer/dryer was helpful. Unfortunately, cleanliness was much to be desired as the bath, sinks, bench and toilets hadn't been cleaned properly but apart from that, great house in a great location
