The room was very nice, clean and quiet, with a confortable bed. The shared bathroom was big, clean and well organised. The shower is huge ! The owners are lovely, they made us a to-go breakfast since we woke up too late (thank you !).

Beautiful little homestay! We booked a room with shared bathroom and definitely didn't regret. Bathroom is huge, beautiful, feels like inside of some spa. Loved it! Breakfast was really a great add on. Great place!
