Fantastic location. Well appointed. Comfortable. Clean. Furniture and beds were appropriate to high-end rental ( for a change). Loved the Livingroom and appreciated the hodt flexibility on arrival (as we got stuck in Rugby game traffic for over 1 hour). Only suggestion: have cleaners arrange to take glass refuse for renters.
