I was extremely pleased with the accommodation!The host was wonderful! I will be staying again at this wonderful apartment!Thank you to Sarah and her team!Danny
Accommodation was amazing. Floor plan was great for us, 3 generations, but would also suit a group of friends. Well furnished, clean, with everything we needed and a corner store below which was very handy. Sarah, the host was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend this property.

Hidden Gem
Our family had a wonderful time staying here! The place was perfect for our needs and exactly as described, homely, sparkling clean, and incredibly comfortable. Our host Sarah provided excellent service, seamless check in and out, provided local recommendations and was very responsive to our late requests throughout our stay. Our family loved the proximity to the city and stunning views from the balcony, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended.
House was fully furnished with prime location. Just bathrooms were bit congested specially the wash basins.
