Well equipped home in a leafy & quiet area. We enjoyed our stay at the house and the surrounding areas. Loved the Greek restaurant (Atmos). When we arrived we had to air out the house and we spent 30 mins cleaning the outdoor couch and table. There was not enough toilet paper and we had to buy more. Otherwise it was all lovely,

Great for a getaway where everything is there for you! Very warm upstairs where living and sleeping quarters are. AC doesnt reach the bedrooms. Lots of space and under cover outdoor seating however back fence too low which allowed other big dogs off leash to hang over the fence. Did not feel we could leave ours in yard unattended so no dinners out. Otherwise a very good stay overall in a home where everything was at hand to make you feel at home.😊
