It is super clean, tastefully decorated and furnished with good quality fixtures and fittings and kitchen equipment. Everything worked as it should. A file was provided with information on how to operate any kitchen equipment and the heating, lots of leaflets on neighbouring attractions and books and games. Parking in front of the house. Just perfect.
