It is a charming old house in a nice neighborhood. We loved it. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils and we did all our own cooking. It was very comfortable for us.

Enjoyed the house but was never sent the email with the key code. Was over 2 hours after 4:00 trying to get in. Finally got a phone number to the host who was very nice to help us. Very frustrating having Togo though all of that.

Place was fine.

Other than the entry code not working and that taking an hour to fix, everything was okay.
