Nice and tidy in a good location
Pros:

The owner was kind to provide us with a more suitable room once I explained two of our party had physical issues with climbing stairs. Car parking was confusing as owner said park anywhere even though bays were numbered, someone was in our park all the time. The Little appartment itself was clean, tidy and lovely.

Cons:

Although there was parking for every appartment, owner suggested we park anywhere. This caused confusion as we had parked in someone else's and they confronted us about it which was awkward.

L'endroit est tout à fait convenable pour une nuit de passage. Nous étions 3.
Pros:

Enregistrement et accès pratiques
L'ensemble était conforme aux photos : bonne literie, grand lit pour 2 ou 1 place, salle de bain récente, de quoi se faire un café ou thé au réveil, une petite bouteille d'eau pour chacun.

Cons:

RAS
