The kitchen view is over a lemon tree to the right and to the far right you have a view to the water, which we both enjoyed. We had all we needed in the kitchen and bathroom. It was cold out and the electric heaters kept us comfortable. We thought there was a washer, but since there was none, I did laundry in the sink and was able to hang clothes on the line when it was not raining and inside when it rained. This was located in a great historic area. There was a lot of walking down and up hills, but the character of the area made it well worth while.
