Wat een fijn huisje!

Heerlijke plek! De eigenaar was zo aardig ons een upgrade te geven omdat dat huisje vrij was. Had hij natuurlijk helemaal niet hoeven doen, maar wij waren er heel blij mee! Huis, tuin en zwembad zijn allemaal fantastisch. Je zit lekker privé, eigenaar is super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. En los van alles: de regio enhet d dorp Aups zijn natuurlijk geweldig!

Een paradijsje

Eigenaar is heel netjes, accomodatie is dan ook erg schoon en netjes. Veel privacy, zwembad is fijn. Eigenaar reageert meteen op berichtjes, is gastvrij en vertelt graag wat er te doen is. Supermarkt aan de overkant van de weg.
