Only very rarely you feel home when you enter a new house, but this is exactly what you feel here as soon as you leave the threshold behind — ‘This is, this could actually be my home’, you think immediately.
Frida & family

The house exceeded expectations, very clean and well maintained with nice surroundings. The host couple were very welcoming
