The start of a great trip we very much enjoyed our stay in Monica’s great little place.

We very much enjoyed some quiet time here both heading to the coast and returning from the coast. Monica showed us around the property and we loved sitting in the garden eating ice cream and watching the river flowing by. It is a very clean and neat place that we definitely would return to.

Even better than the photos depict. Cute and cozy room, luxurious bathroom with an amazing shower. I appreciated having designated parking off the street and in the shade. Loved my short stay here and would definitely stay again. Monica is an excellent host.
