Pros:

Wir würden sehr herzlich von der Familie aufgenommen. Wir hatten ein eigenes Zimmer. Bad teilt man sich mit der Familie. In der Küche kann man alles mitbenutzen.Vor allem den Kaffeeautomaten 👍. Frische Eier gab es direkt vom Nachbarn.
Eine eigene Toilette ist vorhanden. Parken kann man direkt auf dem Grundstück.

Die beiden Hunde und der Kater waren lieb und angenehm.
