Fantastic view
The view was beautiful and location ideal. The house was dirty, every utensil, glass and plate needed to be cleaned prior to using. We had a great weekend nevertheless. I then received a $100 cleaning bill from Bookabach?!!!! We returned that house to a far better state than when we arrived. I will never be booking with Bookabach in the future.
