House was perfect! We came during Christmas week and the house had a Christmas tree in it! The play room was a hit for the kids to hang out in. There was even a towel warmer in the main bathroom ( which now we are buying!) .Host was very responsive. There are so many shops, restaurants, liquor stores and a park walking distance. The Santa workshop was only a 8 min drive away. It was a perfect home to stay in!
