The house was exactly as depicted in the photos. Fran kindly left me lots of toys for my boys to play with and even emptied out almost all of her closets, as we were doing a big international move back to the UK. She was very forgiving when we accidentally ruined one of her bowls in the dishwasher. All in all, a great host.

The house is huge and is really close to the station. Nearby, the deli does delicious pork pies and they fish and chip shop was pretty good, too!
