"Herzlichen Dank für den angenehmen Aufenthalt! Ich habe mich rundum wohlgefühlt, und man hat in der unmittelbaren Umgebung wirklich alles, was man braucht. Mit der kleinen, aber umfangreich ausgestatteten Küche kann man sich bestens selbst versorgen. Die videoüberwachten Parkplätze hinter dem Haus sowie die Streaming-Optionen (Netflix, Prime) sind ein schöner Zusatz, den man auch nicht überall hat. Ich komme gerne wieder!"
