Loved it

This charming apartment on a very private road is perfect for 1-2 people. The cozy ambiance, immaculate cleanliness, and thoughtful amenities make it an exceptional stay. The location is ideal, offering easy access to local attractions while providing a peaceful retreat. Highly recommend for a delightful and comfortable experience!

Only suggestion for visitors is to prop two pillows to deflect the air conditioner away from you, which is situated right against the bed.
