9/10 Wonderful! (268 reviews)
"My stay was very peaceful and relaxing. Only comment would be to have more ways to store clothing. The room is very large and could accommodate more storage. Do not use the airport transfer being offered by the owner. It was 3times a charge by Uber. Otherwise i would stay here again."
