The house itself is completely remodeled and modern. Lovely in many ways. Note that there is no air conditioning so it stuffy on hot days. Perhaps this is why there was a slight odor. If you plan to stay here it is very important to know it is the owners home. There was dirty laundry in the bathroom and they mistakenly forgot and tried to enter while we were there. In addition, the owners stay in a room/apartment attached to the house and they can be very clearly heard from inside the house - particularly one bedroom.
