9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (17)
"Olin matkalla mieheni ja poikani kanssa ja tämä majoitusvaihtoehto oli meille täydellinen. Pieni ja sympaattinen talo, missä kaksi makuuhuonetta, olohuone ja keittiö. Meidät otettiin erittäin ystävällisesti vastaan ja saimme vinkkejä kaupoista, ravintoloista ja liikennevälineistä. Voin suositella kaikille, jotka eivät halua asua perinteisessä hotellissa, vaan kaipaavat jotain aidompaa."
