9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,530 reviews)
Property itself was in great conditions with clean rooms. The only thing I would point out is instead of a double bed I was given a property where all the bedrooms had 2 single beds joined together. With a 3 year old toddler it was challenging for us as a family to have a good sleep.
