The cottage was immaculate and lovely. A perfect location. What I felt was unusual was there was no door or curtain between the lounge and the glass room making it impossible to warm up. Other than that, it was awesome!!

Great room in very nice neiborhood
It's my first time to stay at vrbo and it's a good experience. The room is great by which I mean it has a modern design, very clean, and fantastic shower. And the area is very nice, fancy. There's a little misunderstanding, I thought it was a house with all the garden and many other extra rooms. But it's actually a room with access to garden. The room comes with an area for washing machine which made me think it's a house. Anyway it's a great stay! And Justin let us checked in early and out late (for a fee).
