10/10 Excellent
"The property is very nice, private, quiet and clean. I gave this property a 5 Star rating with one caveat: there was no faucet handle for the shower. In its place was a pair of vice grips - it was difficult to regulate the temperature and water pressure, because it was not easy to turn. I recently suffered a shoulder injury, and, it was very hard for me to use the shower because I could barely turn the makeshift “handle” I would stay here again if the faucet handle were fixed."
