A really comfortable apartment , which was great value for money and very well situated. It was set in a quiet and peaceful location and yet walking distance to the main attractions and amenities. I loved the extra touches and Laurie made us feel very welcome.
Very pleasant, newly renovated and exactly as described
We spent 1 night here with our infant and had a lovely time. The space is separate from the main house, so was quiet. The old stone walls are artfully integrated into the newly renovated space. GREAT SHOWER! VERY clean and fresh. Lauri was very sweet to us, brought us a baby crib and fresh milk when we arrived. Also, of interest were 3 little turtles in the outdoor courtyard :) outdoor space was great to sit in at night, comfy outdoor furniture. Loved our stay and would definitely stay again!
