Great House in a great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with 6 adults in this property. Everything is very walkable, the house has everything one can possbily need and is beautifully furnished. The backyard is great as well. Only thing to mention is that the windows are a bit thin, so keep that in mind when booking.
