Delightful Stay
We were greeted with kindness and was very comfortable with our stay. The house is in a very nice and quiet neighborhood that is close to places to eat and markets near by. The owners were very pleasant and enjoyable to visit with.We had plenty of comfortable privacy and a wonderful breakfast in the morning.We would not hesitate to stay again should we visit the area again.
