A hidden gem in a central location near gardens, shops, and transportation. Tastefully decorated with thoughtful extras like toiletries and fluffy towels. Quick and helpful communication from the host. Home away from home with everything you need for a comfortable stay. A great find for a quiet break or exploring the area.

This place was a dream! The attention to detail was insane. I felt like royalty with the luxurious bedding and eco-friendly toiletries. The garden was perfect for a glass of wine. Will definitely be recommending to my fancy friends.

Not much to complain about, but I guess the staircase was a tad steep. But who needs legs when you have such a posh house?

Super cosy, clean, comfy bed, well-equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom.

Nothing for me.
