The house was very unique and is somewhere we definitely stay again, especially in the spring/summer when we could enjoy the pool more.The host was beyond helpful and I would rate him 5 stars because he accommodated some changes I had after booking.The only reason I gave it 4 stars was just that the outlets in one of the bathrooms next to the sink didn’t work which made it difficult for people trying to get ready for a wedding. In all honesty, I’m sure the host would have tried to get it fixed while we were there but we had too much going on to coordinate that.I highly recommend this place for adults to bring another couple
