Die Lage ist einzigartig. Der Blick fantastisch. Die Räumlichkeiten sind relativ groß.
Die Sauberkeit ließ zu wünschen übrig. Der Eingangsbereich und der Außentisch waren völlig versifft. Die Betten waren viel zu weich. Bei den Armaturen im Bad gab es Defizite.

It was nice having a house with the extra room. The location was beautiful and climb definitely gave us our workout.
