What recent reviews say
Satisfied group travelers praise the spacious layout, full kitchen, and walkable location near shops. Host communication breaks down under pressure: one guest faced a broken lock, unanswered calls at 10 PM, and strict rules on trash and furniture placement. Bring your own towels.
High-season bookings may face responsive, friendly service; off-season or dispute situations appear to test the owner's tolerance.
Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
Recent shift: Recent deterioration in host responsiveness and tolerance; 3-star complaint (10 months ago) versus earlier 5-star group stays; access and communication failures on arrival suggest operational or personal stress on the owner's part

Watch-outs
