### 10/10 Excellent

#### Peter C.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

#### Yes, yes yes.

My only hesitation to giving this review is that it will encourage other people to stay there and I hope it’s not all booked up so we can stay there again ourselves, haha. Everything about the house was perfect.
