"Ein sehr schönes Zimmer/Tiny House. Alles ist toll automatisiert, so ließ sich die Türe z. B. per App öffnen. Das Haus liegt direkt am Wasser und hat zu allen Seiten Fenster, durch die man den Sonnenuntergang sehen konnte. Morgens begrüßten uns viele Vögel. Die japanisch angehauchte minimalistische Gestaltung des Raums hat uns gut gefallen. Das kleine Bad ist gleichzeitig Kaffeeküche, sehr durchdacht und funktionierte einwandfrei. Trotz der niedrigen Außentemperaturen war es im Haus selbst schön...
