Il giardino interno con gli 🐿️. La tranquillità, la vicinanza alla metro e il bar dove poter mangiare e bere a prezzi ragionevoli.

Mooie tuin

De randen in de douche waren gewoon bruin onderaan. Zo ook hoop je toch ergs on bacon te kunnen krijgen bij ontbijt…. Je betaald genoeg voor het onderkomen incl. ontbijt.
