The AC did not work at all and we could not sleep both nights. The owners response was to leave the windows wide open. We did not feel safe. The food is terrible. They would not even give me coffee to go. Bad property. Would not stay again.

Prima voor 1 nacht

Prima plek voor één nacht. Goede bedden, prachtig uitzicht, heerlijk rustig. De finishing touch kan net wat beter. Een stoel met veel vlekken, een krom mes, een scheef gordijntje voor de keukenplank, erg veel haren overal, reservedekens in de badkamer. Maar prima voor een rondreis.
