Absolutely pretty surroundings. The place is value for money and I would strongly recommend it to families planning to stay and do some cooking of their own. (Of course, equally recommended for individuals on short stays).
The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking paraphernalia - pots/pans/ladles/spoons etc. There is a filling station nearby (2 mins walk) with its convenience store - so your daily supplies are taken care of.
Home-orders from restaurants nearby were quickly delivered.
Shopping centers (Walmart,Cub Foods, Kohls etc.) were just about 10 mins. by cab.
Silverlake Park is another great place nearby for swimming,cycling ,watching local art or just idle around.
Great place for morning/evening walks with the pretty and peaceful surroundings.
Above all, Thomas was a wonderful host and a warm person- no interference, peeping in once in a while to ensure were were comfortable, providing us local tips & taking care of our ad-hoc needs.
Hoping to be there again, if I get a chance.
Highly recommended.
