Huda I.

Liked: Cleanliness
This place was so beautiful and honestly exceeded my expectations, the kids had a blast! From the pool to the scenery to the beautiful farm animals and huge kids area it was honestly perfect and accommodated for all ages! The house was also very very clean I brought bedsheets with me because I get paranoid about cleanliness but I didn’t even use them because everything was spotless! The host topped it off she was so friendly,easy to communicate with and responds almost immediately to help with needs, I honestly cannot fault a thing!
