Pleasant stay
The property was very clean and comfortable although you needed to be fit to climb all the steep stairs.
A house book with useful information such as where rubbish should be deposited would have been helpful. Communications with the owner felt a little remote and was always last minute, although comprehensive when it happened.

Erg klein pittoresk huisje
Het huisje is gezellig ingericht. De voorzieningen zijn erg beperkt (geen vaatwasser, geen wasdroger). Het wordt verhuurd voor 4 personen, terwijl het huisje eigenlijk maar voor 2 geschikt is.
