Liked: Cleanliness
Leuk authentiek huisje
Erg leuk om in te verblijven deze lava woning. Behulpzame buurvrouw die ook incheckt. Supermarkt naast de deur. De keuken is prima, en de totale ruimte ook. Douchen lukt helaas minder met maar 15 liter warm water en een te lage waterdruk. Het bed was voor ons te oncomfortabel, en de te lage deurposten ook. We zijn dan ook lange mensen :)
