Everything else was a bit basic. ##### Chris H. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### kirsty u. 20 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Not quite up to expectations The location of the property was lovely, and it was nice and clean. However, this property needs more amenities. There is no oven, no dishwasher, no laundry facilities. There was one glass in the kitchette( for 4 people), no tea towels, a few random kitchen basics.Also it is less than 100m2, as per advertisement. There were people living in the upstairs section while we stayed.Internet quality was very poor, meaning that there were only certain times we managed to connect.I think that this property was therefore overpriced for what you got. ##### kirsty u.
