It was a lovely home. Quiet neighbourhood but still close to downtown. Other guests were quiet and friendly. The organizing of different stay groups animal titles made the sorting and storage very simple. Good set-up. Appreciate the chocolates and coffee bonus! Really lovely stay and well worth it.
