This property was spacious and pristine.We had some isue with the host initially but we tried to handle it appropriately.For seven people and 3 bathroom we only had one toilet role which ran out on first day .It would have been probably more helpful if we knew to bring these things with ourselves.Overally speaking we had a nice time in this place .
