At the homestay, every unit is fitted with a desk, a flat-screen TV, a shared bathroom, bed linen and towels. An oven, a microwave and toaster are also available, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. All units have a wardrobe.

I was really happy with my stay! My room was small but very cozy. I had everything that I need in my room - including kettle, small fridge, umbrella, power plug adapter and a lot more. Also there was a welcome drink! Breakfast was good, and I very much enjoyed having a coffee in a nice backyard. Shared bathroom did not cause any issue - I had never waited for someone else, and it was very clean. I really felt like I'm at home. Host was very friendly and helpful - thanks Rosy for this experience! There are many shops, cafe's etc in walking distance. No underground. 2 train stations in walking distance. Bus stop is also close but roads a very busy. so better to take train to get to city center.
