We look forward to accessing the property again, highly recommended. The host was very helpful and responded quickly to any questions.

The stairs for the 5 floors were a bit daunting to start with but we soon got used to them. The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything you could possibly need. The owner was responsive to emails and the good housekeeping bond had been returned before I'd even got home, and before I had the chance to say that we'd broken a wine glass. I would recommend a stay here and would love to return in the future.

The house was absolutely fab, in a brilliant location and really well equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owners were also really easy to contact and very helpful throughout. We would definitely recommend this lovely house and would happily stay again!
