It was a great place to stay at. The landlord or owner was so nice and friendly. We arrived at 02:00 and he woke up and came to open for us either way.

“Even though the owner tried to remedy, he would have to start from scratch to fix the issues.”
The location was what we needed, close to Val de Vie for our installers to stay at.
