Great stay overall.Good communication provided for check in instructions and after-hours management. My room was very clean and provided everything I needed for my short stay. The owners had kindly left a light on in my room and turned the heat pump on for my late arrival which was greatly appreciated. Also received a free upgrade! I will defiantly stay here again if I'm visiting the area.
