Beautiful, comfortable and spacious for the two of us. The huge yard was a nice bonus. The home is very tastefully decorated. Lots of items in the kitchen cupboards! Huge closets. We didn't use it except for storing our suitcases but I would say the second bedroom is best suited to children.

Cesarino Canada

Excellent communication prior to arrival, near to the train station did not have to wait more than a few minutes for a train, had a really good break, thank you

Rae United Kingdom

Garden was a very nice add-on Quiet surroundings in a nice neighbourhood - if you are looking for a central location it's not your choice, but it is well connected by trains, in CBD in half an hour. Was perfect for us! Very nice hosts! Everything worked out well.

Nikolaus Austria

The house is truly a home away from home, extremely comfortable for a family of 4, both inside and the large backyard. Anne the host was incredibly prompt, accomodating and friendly with any queries.

Moira Australia

The house was beautiful, the hosts very nice and the location very good. My husband enjoyed the desk at the window very much. We had a wonderful time.

Anonymous Germany

Location is central. House is very clean and is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay.
