The place is exactly a simple rental; there were hardly any pots that could boil pasta or other food prep for a family of four. The kitchen needs a few more amenities, such as baking supplies and more plates/bowls (only has 6), but it has enough to get by. The fireplace is fantastic, but please make sure the fire is against the back wall, or the living room will get smoky. The host was responsive and communicated over time. The overall experience was enjoyable.
