The house has a great bungalow-like charm, but with all of the amenities you'd want (fully equipped kitchen, lovely bedroom), and an amazing view. The property is lush and fragrant. While it was too cold to swim, the pool area has a wonderful fireplace that we used on cool evenings. Can't say enough about Moritz's hospitality; he provided so many thoughtful "extras," was always responsive, and full of great restaurant suggestions. We got to see James and his production team at work, which was a treat. We didn't find the stairs to be that daunting (although some might); some folks might want more in the way of living space or privacy (the house's front porch and front room are occasionally used by James and his team), but that wasn't an issue for us b/c we were out of the house the entire day. All in all, this was an amazing place to stay for 3 days, and we would do so again in a heartbeat.
