Great location, clean, and comfortable home. Easy access to main attractions and locations. The home was a 3 bedroom with an ADU in the back of property. Would have like to known this prior to booking as we are a family of 5. Property listed as 4 bedrooms which we assumed was a four bedroom home. Please add instructions on “how to use” washer, AC, etc. and where trash cans are located before checking out. Otherwise, everything was great!

This property was absolutely perfect for our stay! It had everything we needed and more. The private, fenced backyard was a huge plus for our little ones, giving them a safe place to play while we relaxed. The separate guest house was an added bonus, providing extra space and privacy for our group. We also appreciated that the driveway easily accommodated two vehicles, making parking simple and convenient.The location couldn't have been better—we were able to walk to restaurants, shops, parks, and even grab ice cream whenever we wanted. Kensington is such a charming town with so much to offer, and this home was the perfect place to experience it all.We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would definitely book this property again. Highly recommend!
