“un appartamento pulito ed accogliente consigliatissimo anche per chi viaggia con animali ☺️”
“Location molto accogliente e persone davvero speciali.”
“Die Vermieter waren sehr freundlich. In der Nacht gab es wegen Schlechtwetter einen Stromausfall. Wir wurden per SMS sofort benachrichtigt, dass wir uns nicht schrecken sollen, aber leider passiert das manchmal, wenn so heftige Gewitter sind. Es gab Kerzen und Feuerzeug - somit alles kein Problem. Es war alles sehr sauber, in der Dusche kein Schimmel und das Bettzeug roch noch frisch gewaschen. Die Küche ist komplett mit Utensilien ausgestattet. Man muss hier nur einziehen und kann den Urlaub schon genießen.”
“Lijepo uređen apartman,čistoća,ljubazni domaćini.”
