If you’re looking for clean….
We have traveled and stayed in many places, and this is by far the most clean we have been to. The location is perfect for all the sight seeing. And the hosts are great. We have nothing negative to say. Beds were very comfy. We stayed for 8 days, cooked a lot, and did not miss not having a stove top.

My husband and I would definitely stay here again. It is about a 10 minute drive from restaurants and grocery. The house has a great bed, plenty of space and equipment to cook, and a living room with comfy seating for several people. It is super clean and the hosts are very attentive.
