“Cosy home with common terrace, wonderful host. Great value for money!”
Layo is a very intelligent host with a helpful and gentle character. He helped us with all out questions and needs, without aiming at his personal profit. He turned his house into a beautiful, welcoming home with a cosy common terrace. Very good location near the center and yet peaceful and quiet.

Everything was fantastic! Layo is an extremely kind and wonderful host who went out of his way to help us and we enjoyed visiting and getting to know him during our short time there. The room was lovely and very clean and the property is in a great location. Layo was easy to contact via WhatsApp and speaks fluent English. Absolutely wonderful stay! Thanks Layo!
