Reviews
It would be more appreciated if they could clean more often and check the oven and dishes more regularly, because they were very dirty. At the beginning, we didn't even want to cook dinner. Additionally, we couldn't lock the doors with a key.
Was a pleasure to stay there!
Everything was clean and comfortable. Big room with kitchen where people can get together.
She even made coffee in the morning!
So bring your own food and satellite dish for the evening hours (just a kitchen for your own food, wifi only in the shared room)... Or just concentrate on social activities (dogs, board games, looking for the northern lights, jacuzzi).
