The only drawback is that there is no couch or armchair. You have to sit on the kitchen chairs or the bed. Given this situation, cushions on the kitchen chairs would be appreciated by the guests. But all in all, it is a good rental, cute, with amenities and well situated. ##### Emmanuelle D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah M. Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Aurora Overall, it was an ok stay. There were a few necessities that were missing and some miscommunication on a fire pit being onsite, which affected the quality of our stay unfortunately. Lovely view, short distant to cafes was the perk. ##### Sarah M.
