Unfortunately, Birgitte was not there during our stay but her son checked us in. He was a very good substitute host and extremely helpful with my friend's lost passport. He also let me play with the dog, which was awesome! The place is definitely true to the pictures but even more relaxing than I expected. The room is a bit cramped though, there has to be a better location for that fridge. It was a great location if you don't want to be in the downtown area. Across from the mall, that had 2 markets, and a few minutes from the bus stop and about a 10min walk to the train. I'd definitely stay here again if I'm looking to have some me time. Also, I agree about the privacy thing but barely anyone ever walked past the porch. Could see my neighbor across the way clearly though haha
