This place may look small from the outside but it is quite spacious and big in the inside. Everything was laid out perfectly. The rooms were in immaculate condition. It is in a relatively busier street and a very peaceful one. All the ameneties were available.

Beautiful home located in a great spot. Quiet neighborhood and very walkable area. House was very clean, even the shelves and trinkets were well dusted. Very well equipped home. Hosts left a helpful binder with local information. It accommodated our larger family well. One of my favorite details was the use of a local soap company, that smelled wonderful!
