good value for the money
Pros:

Great location. Spacious bathroom. Good heating. Very comfortable bed. Kitchen equipment - sufficient.

Cons:

It would have been nice to have some shelves or wardrobe, also bedside tables or similar. There is nowhere to put clothes or hang them. There are four sticks that should represent hooks for hanging clothes or hangers, but that are completely useless because whatever you hang it slides and falls off.

Pros:

The house is located at a prime spot, very easy to access and close to bus stops. The apartment I booked had everything one needs. Also, I had a quick chat with the owners related laundry and everything was smooth.

Cons:

The internet was really poor throughout my stay. The apartment was not deep cleaned, which is not a big issue as I just wiped the surfaces with tissues.

Great location with well equipped kitchen
Pros:

The location was superb. It is very near to Vik and is located in a quiet place. The room was cosy and the kitchen is well equipped.

Cons:

We felt that the toilet was a little too cold. There was not much heating in the toilet but generally the house was warm.
