Our accommodation was very spacious. We had a large living room and kitchen, bedroom, and private bathroom. The living room had an ice sized TV but we were unable to get any network stations. There were, however, a handful of DVDs to watch, but several of them were scratched and unable to watch.

I did not receive the code to open the room lock box va email. There is no one at reception and it tells you to use the ring doorbell. I did this with no response sonI then called the listed which went to voicemail. i never received a response to the voicemail either but luckily I ran into one of the other guest and we were able to determine the lockbox code. Given absolutely no communication from the owners, I would not stay here again. While the room was fine, upon opening the refrigerator no one had refilled the water bottle, the coffee must not have been used in a while as it’s the coffee crystals adhered themselves to the spoon inside the container, and the soap dispenser in the shower appears to be broken as half of the soap had leaked out onto the floor.
