Summary: The place was nice and clean. It accommodates 6 people, but we were only 4. However, the toilet clogged just a few hours after we checked in. I contacted the owner, and she suggested plunging it. We had to do that three times over the course of two and a half days. Other than thqt, it was a nice place.
