The building is located away from the street and surrounded by trees so it is invisible. There is a large square of greenery outside the building and on both sides. Peace and quiet. Inside the house, everything works, there is a large TV and well-functioning heating. A small house with lots of space. The owner is happy to help. Large parking space and property with a coded gate. I recommend ##### Mateusz C. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa V.
