It was an exceptional property in an exceptional setting. Gary was very thoughtful and someone showed us in. The kitchen was fully ready for cooking, and the bedrooms were pretty big, as well as the living room and shared terraces. Most popular restaurants (including Bahr's Landing) were within walking distance. Really enjoyed our stay and will definitely look for the property in the future.
