The problem is the “65 steps” refers to how many stairs you need to climb down to get to the house (which is at the bottom of a cliff). Some of the stairs are a little crooked and don’t seem 100%. It was very difficult for my elderly in-laws to manage. We would not have rented here had I known this. I did send the owner some questions when we first got there but got no response. Other than that, the house was good. It would be beautiful during the summer. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4c449202-d922-4cf9-91c7-02e2ae49e0cb-1762358474323.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/06b95fc0-b08f-415a-9274-5b031865cc7a-1762358474461.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61228194-d5d9-434e-9947-4b319ceb2c45-1762358474625.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### kevin s.
