Home truths

    You'll have access to the on-site swimming pool, lawn and laundry facilities here. They're shared with the building's other residents.

    If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.

    Due to this home's remote location, you might find that the phone signal is patchy from time to time.

    The shower pressure here isn't the strongest.
