10/10 Great accommodation

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 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.
