We had an absolutely amazing stay with James and Olga. They both took great effort in making my 50th birthday unforgettable. The food (and birthday cake) were amazing! Olga has a superb talent for detail and is very attentive, and James is a brilliant and very entertaining host and tourguide! We both felt very welcome and spoiled rotten!

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.
