Very nice stay.
Anuschka was very helpful with arrangements. We had a nice stay and had a clean room, nice bed and bathroom. It's a beautiful, old building. The area was not the greatest but we felt very safe in the guest house and had a nice stay. We are a family of 4.

The facilities and service were very good.
We just had to leave early and wanted to go without breakfast but were informed that a take away breakfast would be included which we then accepted, rather than stopping at a restaurant along the way for breakfast. This was disappointing - we got yogurt containers but no (plastic) spoon to eat them with. There were no drinks included either - a fruit juice would have helped quite a bit! There were also no napkins provided in the food packages. We would also like to suggest that the customer's choice regarding white or brown bread will be asked before food packages are prepared.

Comfortable, tranquil setup and delicious breakfast.
Zelda received us warmly and we immediately felt good about where we were going to stay. The rooms are spacious and have everything you need. The bar fridge came in very handy. We liked the fact that on a slip you could choose a few preferences or dislikes for breakfast. All the staff are neat and friendly. I was especially impressed after we left and received a call about 3 minutes later! It was Zelda who told me a cleaner got my husband's wedding ring on the sink! He was so relieved that he gave the worker a thank-you fee. We'll definitely see you again next year!

House is beautiful and unique.
Signage at guest house is poor. On our arrival we had to call, because you stand in front of the guest house, but there is no car entrance. Entrance in dark back street. My daughter and I felt very unsafe when we came back late that evening after dinner and got lost. Will definitely not stay there again. Safety must be priority. The fact that there is also no staff in the evenings made us feel unsafe. We had to open and close for ourselves at 10 o'clock in the evening. How do you know the other guests do this. No thank you. You don't see me again.

Beautiful house, clean, tidy, hostess great, garden wonderful to sit in.
It's a beautiful house, clean and tidy - even though it's old and from another era, you sleep well. Our hostess (Joanie) was great, friendly and hospitable. Full breakfast served. The garden with all the birds, water 'features' and coolness on a hot day very welcome, and you can relax with a book. The only thing that hinders a bit is the block of flats next door. There were children screaming and crying, laundry on balconies, etc. and unfortunately it kind of detracts from this wonderful house. One actually wishes you could pick up and move the house. Still I would suggest family or friends on a one night stop to stay here.
