Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The hosts were very friendly, helpful and had great communication. The property was very clean and beautifully rustic. Just a heads up for those travelling with more than two people and those that value privacy- the bathroom doesn’t have an actual door (just separated by curtain) nor does the bedroom. No fault of the hosts just something we had to get used to as four adults. The toilet will take some getting used to with the flushing but we had no problems. Just has to be diligent with the tissue paper in the garbage. The kitchen was beautifully stocked with a gorgeous table and stove.
