“We didn’t sleep as the accommodation was too hot due to no cooling facilities. In summer it would be not very nice.”

“Perfect stay, spotless and thoughtfully equipped”
Perfect stay – spotless and thoughtfully equipped. Everything about this accommodation was perfect. The whole place is new and beautifully maintained. I’m very sensitive about cleanliness and it was absolutely spotless. They’ve thought of every tiny detail you might need for your stay, which made everything so easy and comfortable. The location is super lovely as well. I extremely recommend this place and would love to come back again.
