"Although there were a few big ants on the bed, overall I would give this place the highest rating. The host was very friendly, the airport pickup process went smoothly, and the host gave us a lot of help. The host even came to fix the water heater close to midnight. If I have the chance, I would definitely choose to stay here again. Highly recommended — but please don’t compete with me for the booking !"
