I would like to make 1 suggestion. I suggest that there be an extra set or 2 of slip covers for the sofas to be washed and switched out with each stay as you would do bed linens. Fresh clean slip covers would have made the stay a 10/10\. I wasn't able to sit on the couch due to the stains and hair left from previous guest. Other than that i would highly recommend and i would return for another stay! ##### Wendy B.
