The house was clean. Courtney (the host) checked with us a few times to make sure everything was good and was there to quickly respond to any questions we had. It’s a great location within walking distance to several restaurants and Dora Lake. It was a quiet area and it felt great relaxing in the hot tub. I definitely recommend this property to anyone
