"The house is as described, very clean throughout and all modern updated fixing and furniture. The house smelled freshly cleaned and odor free. The house was a bit pricey per night however for sanity reasons. My family said it made them feel at home and for our reason to be there it was effective. Communicating with the owner was pleasant and pretty quick. And I would stay again."
