Summary: This house is amazing. All bathrooms and bedrooms were very comfortable and worked great for all 17 of us! Kitchen is amply supplied with dishes, cutlery l, etc. for a large group. Host was very responsive when we had questions. The place was difficult for taxi drivers to find. We educated several of them on its location. It is near the bus line but the walk to the bus stop is a little sketchy. You have to walk along the highway and cross twice very carefully before you reach a sidewalk. If you don’t have a car would recommend scheduling a grocery delivery. No grocery stores close by. We ordered from Waitrose and it worked well. FYI they give you very limited supplies of paper towels coffee and tea so would add to your order first thing. Thanks again
