Overall, it was a very nice stay. The vacation rental has potential. The patio and garden are beautiful. The interior decor is okay but could use some improvement. In particular, the sofas, curtains, and mattresses should be upgraded. In the entryway, there is a boiler that had a strong smell of heating oil. The owner is aware of this, and it will be repaired in the coming months. The location is lovely, quiet, and very private. There’s a beautiful forest right on the doorstep. The service was excellent; all questions were answered quickly, and we received helpful assistance.
