Our stay with Alison started with her welcoming us with a pie and cookies for the kids. She was a lovely host and her house is in a very nice and quiet neighborhood. We loved getting out and walking around the area. There is a beach close by with lots of fun rocks and seashells to collect so if you have kids they will love it! I loved that her house has a fenced in backyard for privacy and also we have small children so it was really wonderful to just let them go out in the back and play without worry. The house itself is clean but nothing fancy. There was plenty of utensils and pots and pans to cook with in the kitchen but there is no dishwasher so be warned. There is also two flights of stairs that splits the upstairs and downstairs so if you have young children you may want a baby gate. Overall, our stay was really pleasant and our host was very kind!
