Review Score:   8
Summary: Large and comfortable. Very clean inside. The price is very reasonable so we didn't expect flash and pristine and it's not. But it was just right for our large extended family with little children. Very private and Charlene from the booking agency (Bach Stay) is friendly and accommodating. 4 rather than 5 stars because although there seemed to be nothing overflowing, there was a strong unpleasant sewerage smell out the back.
