What a beautiful home! Very comfortable and well appointed. Mattress was very comfy. Views are second to none. Very good communication with the Host as well. Would definitely recommend and will be staying here again in the future. The outside windows do need to be cleaned, but I would imagine it's hard to keep them clean 100% of the time, so not that big of a deal.
