The location was really easy to find - we had good driving directions and there's a sign on the road and a marked parking spot in their private driveway. The code for the lock box was sent to us in advance, so it was super easy to collect the key...

Good location in a residential area close to the centre. Good view from the bedroom. A real tiny home away from home.
