really good stay NEAR the HARBOR

massive bedparking spaceamazing hostuseful fridge
The room included a lovely, comfortable, massive bed. I found two bottles of water with teas, coffees, sugars, and milks provided. A fan, hairdryer, and small fridge were available for drinks and food. This was really useful. The room overlooked a park, and I had a car parking space. Christopher and Teija were very cute and chatty. They are amazing hosts.
I found very slight dust in the corner of the bathroom. it was not really noticeable.
