Warm and helpful welcome. Real milk provided. Larger than expected apartment. Warm and sunny. Comfortable beds. Hot shower and great water pressure. Kitchen, dining, lounge and balcony space to enjoy. Later checkout so we could have a slow start.

Residual cooking smells quickly removed by opening windows to air.
