Absolutely loved our stay here! Beautifully created hideaway full of light, immaculately presented and felt like home.Had everything we needed for our 5 days. Will definitely be booking again.Thank you to our hosts who made our stay effortless
We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, well appointed studio unit. Overall the unit was clean however furnishings such as the sofa need a deep clean. The entrance via a messy driveway and yard also needs some attention. Communication with the host was via auto replies and automatically generated responses. Consequently our one request was ultimately not acted on. Overall the unit itself met our needs and with a few tweaks it would have been ideal.
