It was very clean, very quiet and well-stocked with all the implements we needed. We really felt at home and happy at the house.

Check-In was simple. Everything we needed for a one-week stay was there. Communication with Claudia was pleasant and quick. On the first day we noticed that the hair dryer was broken, sent claudia a quick message, and had a new one the next day. Simply great.Tip: The streets are quite narrow and steep, so better rent a small powerful car.Thank you for the wonderful stay. ##### Lara L.
