  • Shawn from United States – 12 October 2024 (10/10)

    The location and home were fantastic! It had everything I could want or need while away from home. I loved the decor and the cozy atmosphere, both inside and out. Demetri and Jessica were exceptional hosts—easy to communicate with and quick to respond to any questions. I would definitely stay here again!
