Beautiful room, host was very welcoming and had everything we could possibly think of already set up. Host got us ingredients for breakfast at a minimal cost. We accidentally booked the wrong day and the host accommodated and made sure everything was sorted out. The place has stunning views and many amenities such as a hot tub, washer, dishwasher, full kitchen, airfryer, etc. 11/10 experience and would definitely stay again!!!!
