We couldn’t have imagined a more charming stay. You feel and see the love that Lydie put into the house from the moment you step foot into the door. The room was spacious and cozy, the bed very comfortable. Also, the location of the house is great since it‘s walking distance to the center of town, surrounded by many cafés and shops but hidden away in a residential area. All in all: The perfect place to relax and get a good night’s sleep after a busy day in town.

The room was perfect, also a really nice atmosphere in the bathroom. Privacy and freedom to come and go as you like is guaranteed, just follow basic house rules, read the material in the room! Our host was very friendly and flexible with arrival times, which is a big plus. We chose it because the airport is fairly close, a good option if your plane leaves early in the morning. I can only recommend it.
