My host was always in touch from the time I made my booking. They were friendly, informative and helpful. This house sits atop a hill from which there is a panoramic view reminiscent of San Fransisco. I rented a car which was helpful because I found it quick and easier to get around without the need for actually being fit. The house is beautiful and decorated tastefully in and out. It is perhaps too full and a bit cluttered. It clearly has been someone's home and it has almost all the comforts of home. It has enough of everything you could need from tissues to maps and tourist brochures. There is ample washing detergent and high end shampoo - not usually a given. We stay longer than most and actually cook and we found this place very suitable for a longer stay.
