The house is nice and very clean. Not recommended for tall people. My husband had to bend down to go through the doors and he is 1.89. The fact that they ask for a deposit of 300 euros upon arrival does not seem so valid to me because they already consider you a careless person. In my opinion, this seems a bit out of place and can make you uncomfortable. Otherwise, everything was good.

Our family of 5 stayed here and loved it :) The apartment was super cute. We absolutely loved having the mini fireplace especially in the winter, it kept us very warm. Only thing was that hot water for showering was limited everyday, so only 2-3 people could get warm water. The rest had to shower with super cold water.

The location of this house is truly beautiful, and there is a supermarket nearby where you can find everything you need. The house is very well-equipped — from the kitchen utensils for cooking to comfortable bedding and more. Across the street, there is a lovely little lake and a nearby bar, which makes the area even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this place! The only small downside is the check-out time — 10 a.m. feels a bit early in my opinion. It would be great if this could be reconsidered. Other than that, everything about this place is excellent
