“Home away from home.”
The host was so helpful and understandable as we only booked at 19:00 .. he warmed up our beds, put the bedside lamps on and welcomed us like we were arriving at a family's home. The accommodation was exceptional. The amenities were great. Milk and water in the fridge. The view just outstanding.
