Pam
This place was absolutely great! It was beautiful and very well taken care of! Our hosts were so kind to us and constantly checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. They also included recommendations and clear and easy instructions. The house was easy to find and was in a great neighborhood that we felt safe in. The home was so cute and felt homey. We would absolutely recommend anyone to stay here and we would book with this host again. They were great, 10/10 ◡̈
