Shelagh and her family are the ultimate owner-hosts, the perfect mix of professional and warm. We have stayed in a range of owner rentals and this was one of our best experiences. Starting from our first inquiry, owner communication was excellent. The listing's photos and description are very accurate. The house manual is thorough and helpful (including clear instructions for all appliances, and also useful suggestions in the neighborhood). The space is clean without being spare.

Perhaps the best part is that the hosts have thought of everything well beyond basic amenities; when our luggage did not arrive they were ready with extra toothbrushes; the kitchen is fully stocked with equipment and ingredients; there are all kinds of other extra little touches. During our stay, we interacted with several members of the family, all of whom were friendly and super helpful, but also considerate of our space and never intrusive. Overall, highly recommended.
