"Host was very helpful and responded quickly even though it was late at night when the smoke detector malfunctioned and was going off loudly without any reason, replaced it with a new one the next day. House was furnished nicely with plenty of room for about 4 people, though it was just my partner and I. Would love to stay again, grocery stores were 5 minutes away, and activities and restaurants were similarly distanced. Amazing place to stay!!!"
