We enjoyed our stay. I did book thinking it had a dryer and washing machine as listed but once I had booked the information I received stated no laundry facilities. She did say she would correct it on the description. I see it’s a new property so maybe some tips for future guests, hand towels are a must in bathroom, we were drying our hand on little face cloths, hangers in wardrobe and a welcome book with wifi info would add nice little touches.
