A. Even with assistance from the host, we couldn’t get the sound system to work/ connectB. There were no tables on the deck area to rest food, snacks & drinks on - only a few chairs to sit on, yet the house is designed for indoor/ outdoor flow.Otherwise the setting is great - quiet, nice vista over the valley to the city, well appointed property, comfortable rooms, modern facilities. I highly recommend this property.
