    The host Silke is such a loving and a great host. She gave me a very warm welcome and was willing to attend to my needs. The location is in my city but was surprised to find such connection with nature in a very quiet area with nice view from the bedroom. If you looking for a tranquility home away from home within city then Maestorm is the place to stay. The property has Spa too.
