lovely stay with family at Kure
Lovely and cosy place to stay in a quiet neighborhood and just 5 mins walk to the beach. The house is full equipped and tastefully decorated with a nice ‘homish’ flavor. We enjoyed our stay and I can only recommend the place if you want to relax and spend quality time with the family.
