Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property was very tidy and well stocked in terms of kitchen and fire wood for the fire.The lock box was slightly difficult to access given its placement as arriving slightly in the evening and needing to use the phone torch to see the numbers. But minor issue.Lovely property overall.
