Most the window furnishings need replacing as many were broken and detracted from the experience. The kitchen has no ovenware or anything to make coffee with, and virtually no cooking utensils. Just lacking a bit of polish, but a good comfortable home, with amazing views. ##### Chris D. Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Blagoja I.
