It was a lovely home. Quiet neighbourhood but still close to downtown. Other guests were quiet and friendly. The organizing of different stay groups animal titles made the sorting and storage very simple. Good set-up. Appreciate the chocolates and coffee bonus! Really lovely stay and well worth it.

閑静な住宅地にあるのでゆったり眠れた。 部屋も1人では十分すぎるぐらいのスペースだった。 全ての共有部分が清潔で過去の人の食べ物や調味料、消耗品が共有されているので快適に過ごせた。 宿から提供されている消耗品も数多くあってよかった。 ダウンタウンから少し離れていますが、近くにバスがあるので困らない。
