At the homestay, every unit is fitted with a desk, a flat-screen TV, a shared bathroom, bed linen and towels. An oven, a microwave and toaster are also available, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. All units have a wardrobe.

I was really happy with my stay! My room was small but very cozy. I had everything that I need in my room - including kettle, small fridge, umbrella, power plug adapter and a lot more. Also there was a welcome drink! Breakfast was good, and I very much enjoyed having a coffee in a nice backyard. Shared bathroom did not cause any issue - I had never waited for someone else, and it was very clean. I really felt like I'm at home. Host was very friendly and helpful - thanks Rosy for this experience! There are many shops, cafe's etc in walking distance. No underground. 2 train stations in walking distance. Bus stop is also close but roads a very busy. so better to take train to get to city center.

Michael was extremely welcoming, now we understand all the amazing reviews that we read before booking this place. We really felt like home, we had access to all facilities, kitchen was well equipped and the terrasse/ patio was perfect for dinner and rest after a long day of walking in the sun. We could not have wished for something better, room was really big and cozy and not too loud even though it was on ground floor and the location was perfect, really close to a great park, restaurants and bus/ subway. Thank you very much for everything and for being so understanding when we had the issue with the credit card, it is always good to have alternatives!
