Home truths
This host requires your check-in to be within 3-5 days from when the last booking ends. If you are unsure if your dates will work or need help finding alternatives, please contact our Matchmaking Team.
Your host operates several homes here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
This home can't be rented for business travel.
The second bedroom is quite small with limited storage space. However, it has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep.
Air conditioning doesn't extend to every room – the second bedroom has a ceiling fan rather than air conditioning, so it may feel warmer on hot days.
