9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (20 reviews)
"Great place! With an ambience of stepping into a vacation home. The decor was on point with small touches that really catch the eye. The home smelled of fresh scents and plenty of seating. The Video Projector gives a great touch to family time. The door that separates the kitchen from the home makes it nice for meal preparation and privacy. The beds were the most complemented by our party allowing for a restful night sleep."

8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (9 reviews)
"Looks recently renovated. Had good, comfortable beds, nice decorations, nice kitchen, well decorated, had all the basics needed, clean. The host was very responsive in my experience. Pay attention to the directions on how to get to the front door because we didn’t, we thought we’d just go on the nearest entrance and ended up in the back door, which doesn’t have a key to get you in and the door code will not work on the back entrance. Overall we had a very good experience. "
