Simon was a great, trusting host. He explained how everything worked, even the sodastream, and left written details which were useful as we arrived dazed after a sleepless flight so we weren't at our best..
The house was very comfortable for 4 of us with the pool being much appreciated in the high summer heat.
Observatory was an interesting area, although mostly closed around the new year we did get to try a few eateries and bars later on - all excellent.
