Very nice! Very clean! Very pretty!

This house didn’t disappoint. Extremely clean, well cared for, nicely furnished - and great balconies. A house that feels like home! I need to recognize Seony, Sherie, but most of all Adrian. Adrian went above and beyond, exemplary people skills and genuinely wants to make sure you have everything you need to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable, thank you Adrian! Highly recommend this home. It’s hard to find a location that mimics the description and home. What you see is what you get! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
