We absolutely loved our stay at Robert's place!
The Japanese-style home was extremely relaxing and quiet — exactly what we needed to unplug and get away from the busy day-to-day. Robert was super accommodating and responsive, making everything smooth from start to finish.
The kitchen and bathrooms were fully equipped with everything you could possibly need. The home was spotless, with beautiful high-end appliances, a super comfortable bed and sheets, and a luxurious deep tub along with a spacious shower. The big fenced-in yard was perfect for our fur babies to run around and enjoy safely!
We had the best time here and will definitely be booking again in the future. Thank you so much, Robert! Highly recommend!
