“The location was so close to the city centre and many restaurants. The apartment was spotless and the bed was comfy. Eve”
It was a home away from home - everything you could possibly want was there. Also the close proximity to the city centre was fabulous.

“Great house, great location”
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely house. The location is great and the house was very clean and fully equipped with everything we needed. The owners were very kind and even checked in to make sure everything was okay, which we really appreciated. We would definitely recommend this place and would happily stay here again.

“The property is modern, clean, with everything you need, and well located just a short walk into the city centre - would”
The property is modern, clean, with everything you need for a stay, while being well located just a short walk into the city centre and tram stop, but with a handy garage on the ground floor. The neighbourhood is also quiet and feels safe, with the house being in a little courtyard of similar houses behind secured gates. This is our second stay and we’re already planning to come back for a third!

“Great central property with lovely hosts”
Centrally located, clean, modern, spacious, comfortable and stylish property. With everything being fairly new, and fully equipped we had everything possibly needed while being away from home. Beds and pillows were super comfortable. We travelled with 2 young school children and they loved it! A couple of good parks are close by, and a bus stop is in front of the property. The apartment sits above the garage, accessible by internal stairs. We were a bit worried, if our Highlander would fit in the internal garage, but it did. The communication with very friendly host was easy. Thank you Rachel & Troy for a lovely stay. We’ll be back!
