The owners live next door and were welcoming and handy should we have any issues. It was well equipped but lacked the usual information folder i.e. what to do with rubbish/recycling, code for Wifi (although this was on the shelf that we hadn't noticed) and ideas for shopping/eating out. Would definitely recommend this property though.
