From the moment of booking to check-in, Lu Lu was an outstanding host—friendly, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the entire process. The unit was spotless and smelled refreshingly of citrus, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere. The beds were unbelievably comfortable, the room was warm and cozy—just what we needed for a perfect getaway. The location was also super convenient, close to everything yet peaceful and quiet. To top it all off, the property was beautifully blanketed in snow, making it feel like a magical winter wonderland. Every little detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and it truly made our stay seamless and memorable. We absolutely loved our time here and will definitely be booking again—sooner rather than later!
