Short stay

Beautiful home, easy self-check in, spacious room (thankfully blue room had private bath as I didn't even think that this might not be an option. Lol), well equipped kitchen if needed, and everything appeared to be well cleaned and taken care of. Will gladly stay here again.

Never met any staff and too dependent on text messages to reach someone. I would have liked to have a TV. It's a wonderful home and I enjoyed being in the historic area. It was a lovely experience.
