Extended weekend
Very friendly helpful hosts who even garaged our ebikes. The bed was too firm for us & alot of light leaked in around the door and window blinds, but everything was very clean and in good condition. The location was perfect, about 2 minutes walk to shops & restaurants yet was also quiet.
