Liked: Cleanliness
Bright, airy, and well appointed. Small details showed the commitment of th host to provide a comfortable stay. The bed was super comfortable with lovely sheets and great pillows. We enjoyed hanging out in th cool of the house with the record player and eclectic selection of old records. We enjoyed the BBQ, bocce ball, hot tub and lounge chairs. The house next door is quite run down, but we did not notice any problems and it was a very quiet stay. We would definitely stay again.
