Reviews
Marissa from United States – 3 May 2025 (10/10)
I appreciated that the hosts kept in contact with me and was able to answer my questions and concerns when I was having trouble getting inside. Also made us feel very comfortable with our stay. The house was very clean and had labels for almost everything that was needed.
What could be improved: Parking wasn’t the best, but that’s not their fault in any way. I appreciated our stay!Betsy from United States – 29 December 2024 (10/10)

Bedding is so comfortable. I slept for a second. 😁
My flight arrived early morning so the host could help my group to early check-in.
What could be improved: Enough for me.😁Farooq from United Kingdom – 23 August 2024 (9/10)

Gloria from United States – 9 July 2024 (7/10)
I loved the cleanliness. I appreciated the thorough check in email I received from check-in, to entry and to check out. Hospitality was a 10 all the way around. I plan to stay there in the near future when hopefully it’s not as warm!
What could be improved: I was disappointed due to the home having no A/C. We arrived after a day of travels and the home was congested and hot due to being 90 degrees throughout the day when the housing summary detailed A/C and jacuzzi but no luck!Negely from United States – 28 September 2024 (10/10)
Um lugar muito aconchegante, eu e as minhas amigas adoramos.
