Very friendly and helpful host. The only thing that could be improved - the double bed upstairs is very firm. My husband and son were ok with it, so I slept in the twin room, bed also firm but not quite as much so. Of course this is down to personal preference. Thatâs the only tweak. Everything else was perfect. Thank you
