Great host made for great trip
The property was as shown in the photos. Well equipped and perfect for our family get together. The host, Claire was incredibly responsive and accommodating as we had changes to our plans right before we stayed. It is a lovely home and close to the city center. No issues with parking outside the house. Highly recommend.
