Everything was wonderful, the only critique I have is that is wasn't clear that the unit is only the second floor of the property until after booking. Great value for the money and great hosts however.

Gorgeous cottage ambience

The apartment has been renovated very stylishly, while at the same time is very homey and comfortable. The beds were comfy, the shower luxurious, and the HVAC system operated flawlessly — must be a new system in a very quaint cottage. The location was superb too. Our host was gracious and helpful. We would stay here again.
