“Quiet stay at a clean and comfortable house.”
Good communication with hosts, very clean property. It comes with a small kitchen and a terrace, perfect for breakfast. The location is 15min uphill from the city center, which we loved because it’s quiet. Rooms are cleaned every day which is a luxury!

“Wonderful stay”
Suite room is clean and tidy, easy self-check in with host (contact by whatsapp) host is responsive, lots of restaurants/convenience store nearby. We hv booked 2 nights and they did tidy the room for us on the 2nd day.

No staff - self check in. Disappointed there was no parking available since the Booking.com add states otherwise (had to park on the street). Shower warm water only. Expensive stay - for the price paid was expecting much better. Room #4 needs to be renovated.

“Modern apartments”
Lovely new apartment about 15 mins walk from the centre. Road is fairly quiet. Very comfortable room with tv (sadly no Netflix). Host was very communicative via WhatsApp, but I never met him/her. There is a kitchen with fridge, microwave and a communal sunroom at the back.

A perfect place to stay on a beautiful, quiet street, not far from the town centre. Easy access - be sure to have a phone to contact the owners before arrival! Everything was clean, great facilities, close to shops and places to eat and drink. Really comfortable bed. We recommend it 👍
