We did not do any cooking because the location was simply superb. The very best restaurant in town was 30 seconds from the door, and there were so many cafe’s and pubs (famous ones) so close, that their was no need.
And although our hosts said that taxi drivers would all know the location, which was true, there was little need for transportation as the major attractions were all within walking distance.
Finally, our hosts were extremely responsive to our needs prior to the event. We had little contact once there as everything was set as promised. For our money, perfect hosts, perfect location.
