Summary: We stayed a couple of night at this property and really enjoyed ourselves. The bed and couch are quite comfortable and it was nice to have all of the streaming services provided on the TV and Wi-Fi available. If you want to do cooking, there is only an air fryer. But that is clear in the description, so it was not a surprise. Overall, it was a great experience. We would stay again and recommend to others.
