Good for active able guests

Great place--clean, well-furnished, lovely view, quiet. Probably better for younger or more active guests. We are elderly and found the stairs up and down the hill to the street a bit of a challenge.

Neat home tucked away

Unique clean home tucked in between homes on a hill side- it’s quite secluded. The road to the home is very narrow and fun to drive. Nice views of the city and valley. Probably not great for elders that have trouble walking down a flight of stairs because the entrance to the front door is not an easy access.
