Majoituksen taso ok, kuitenkin pettymys suhteessa korkeaan hintaan. Kalustus eri lähteistä kasattua, rikkinäistä, likaista. Ilmanvaihto surkea, ruoanlaiton käryt kaikki parvelle, joka ei seisomakorkuinen missään kohdin. Parvelle vievät portaat vaaralliset, ulko-oven lukko jumissa/ vaikea saada auki. Turvallisuusriski? Kävelymatka Masto-rinteiden hisseille, josta ehdottomasti plussaa. Hinta-laatusuhde pettymys, muuten ok.

Mökki Itä-rukalla

Hyvä mökki mukavalla sijainnilla Itä-rukan puolella. Yleisilmeeltään siisti ja nykyaikainen. Koiran kanssa matkustavalle oikein sopiva kohde hyvien ulkoilumaastojen takia.
