"We enjoyed the location and uniqueness of this property. The bedrooms left a little to be desired. One mattress was on the floor and the other mattress was not too comfy. The kitchen could have used a few more cups and glasses. There was literally one of each, a coffee cup, one wine glass, one water glass and a beer glass. "
