Serge's home is a warm example of one - a comfortable, colorful place of an active family. Throughout, you benefit from everything that makes a home: every imaginable piece of kitchen equipment and stores of food, plenty of casual linens and bedrooms and bathrooms to use them in, kids' supplies and features everywhere, intentionally few tvs. This is a great place for a large (family) group, providing privacy and space. Just mind the many steep and shallow stairs. The largest bed (or master bedroom) is on the 4th floor. The higher rooms glow with natural light but are also hotter. All other beds are singles or twins. There are thick curtains for sleeping past the sun. The hosts and co-hosts are easy and friendly to coordinate with and quick to respond to issues. If you are looking for more of a hotel or rental experience, you may not find this a fit. We enjoyed the personal effects and lived-in feeling, the multplication tables in the bathroom. The location near museums is a top feature plus a playground, park, grocery stores, excellent coffee shops and restaurants. Thank you to Eva, Kobe and to Serge's family for a super comfortable and memorable stay.
