The house was a bit older and more worn than it looked in the photos, but overall, it was a decent place to stay. There were plenty of towels, and the house was spacious enough for multiple families to stay together comfortably. Communication with the host was smooth and everything went well. However, some essential kitchen items, such as cutting boards and certain utensils, were missing, which made preparing meals a bit difficult.

The area was beautiful and quite . The house was nice although there were a few soft spots in the floor of the house and the sofas were old and not comfortable at all . Beds were really comfortable . The whole house had an old wet wood smell and a few roaches were spotted .
