“A pleasant stay”
The host is very nice and communicative, and very accommodating to our preferences. She provides information about the house, parking space and key code before our arrival. She also prepares bread, cereal and tea in the room for us. The house is very spacious with a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable living room. The room is of good size, bathroom is clean and the bed is comfortable.

“Nice house, a little bit disconcerting”
Very homely and spacious, well appointed and equipped, relatively easy check in, space for cars and large enough for our two young kids which was ideal for us. Pretty reasonable cost wise as well which was great. Has a nice backyard area and a nice deck, it was a very warm and welcoming place to stay in.
