8/10 Good
"The room was very clean, maybe a bit small for two people. On the other hand, the bathroom was huge and had everything one needed. The kitchenette had no separate sink, therefore cutlery and dishes had to be cleaned in the bathroom. Parking was free and the owner was really nice. A Tavern with great food is in walking distance, so no need to drive to a restaurant. Altogether, an appealing place to stay where guests get a good night sleep."
