    Friendly, helpful host, great location close to facilities but far enough away from noise, beautiful, comfortable spacious interior, lots of hot water. Nothing not to like.

    Was nice having a whole place to ourselves with family. Was very comfortable and clean. We shopped at the local grocery store so we could have breakfast in the morning before we left. Quiet and relaxing neighbourhood.
