pleasant stay

helpful suggestioncomfortable bedbathroom cleanlinesscheckout problem
the location was good. the hosts offered helpful suggestions and tips for exploring the area. the breakfast had a fresh fruit salad included, and there were various choices for all tastes. the beds and pillows were very comfortable.
I found the cleanliness lacking, especially in the bathroom. checking out even a few minutes late seemed to be a problem. i was reminded to leave by the stated time. I didn't like that.

the owners are really nice folks. they appear to be very friendly.
the cleanliness leaves something to be desired. the bathroom needs more attention. also, the breakfast lacked a cooked option. it seemed like they opted for cheaper cereal brands.
