Summary: The place seemed relatively clean if not smelling a little shut up for a while. Was excited about the spa pool but was let down by the tepid temperature. The owner responded really quickly and maybe too familiarly when we reported the lift being faulty, he just let himself into the house. I know it is his house but we had paid for the privilege.
