Property manager spoke excellent English and was extremely warm and welcoming. She accommodated every wish for an easy check-in and check-out process. The home is in excellent condition having been refurbished to meet today's standards while retaining the charm of this old home. It doesn't have A/C so it was a bit uncomfortable when the outside temperatures exceeded 80 F.
