Wonderful and relaxing stay!

We only had a chance to stay for one night but would have enjoyed staying longer! The apartment was plenty or room for my family of six. Everything was perfectly homey, spotless, and had good amenities! We appreciated the large TV to watch movies and play video games together. The couch and beds were comfy and spotless. The area is somewhat remote so it's very nice and quiet.

Good Overall

Floors could have been cleaner and there were some basic amenities missing but the hosts were super friendly and helpful so it was great overall. Next time, I’ll confirm ahead of time about any specific amenities needed.
