The home is very comfortable..we had 4 adults and 4 kids (ages 5-16) and so we didn't want a sterile, showpiece house that we felt we couldn't be ourselves in. Cia and Charlie were excellent hosts, answered all our questions, and provided a lovely home. The many beautiful plants made it feel extra special."
