Warning a long review coming up!
This was a lovely private little home, photos are deceptive there's actually a surprising amount of space inside and out! Plenty of space to park and manouvre the car as well as leaving enough room for the kids to ride their bikes and have a (totally safe and secure) play outside. House warmed up fast via the two split systems even though it was chilly (July), and stayed warm overnight even in the loft where our 4yo slept. Candan provided a portacot for our baby in the downstairs bedroom which had tonnes of space even with the cot in, though we actually moved it to the walk in robe as she is not used to sleeping in the same space as us and that worked just perfectly with space to move around it as that room is also very generous. No bath but the walk in shower was enormous and easy to shower with multiple kids. We drove to our destinations but it was a great location, and remarkably quiet despite being under a flight path and super close to supermarkets and decent sized streets, we heard nothing at all inside! Also nice and dark though the curtains are all sheer and there are no blockouts which worried me as a fussy sleeper, but there were so few lights around being behind other homes that it ended up really being a non-issue. Very important having kids with us was the fact that the home, while lovely and clean, was that it was a cosy, comfortable, lived in house. We didn't feel we had to chase our kids 24/7 to avoid the inevitable evidence of childrens whareabouts, infact Candan supplied a generous cupboard of toys and books the kids adored, tables and chairs, a hanging chair upstairs and more that our kids made excellent use of.
Will absolutely be saving Candan's listing for future visits to the city and recommending to others, like a home away from home!
