The home was spacious and had everything we needed. I understand the cleaner was called away to an emergency and the owner was quick to offer some compensation for the cleaning. I didn't see it as a problem as these things happen. We will happily stay again next year as the house is great and the location perfect. Thank you! ##### Linda F.
