Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
The property was great and as listed. We had trouble communicating with the host as the light switch for the bathroom wasn’t working. We let the host know though this wasn’t fixed during our stay. No big deal but would have been nice to have a bathroom light.
