Frans's was a gracious host and there were personal touches (like coffee, tea, bathroom necessities, etc) that were very thoughtful. There is a good sized shopping center within easy walking distance, and it is a nice neighborhood with a convenient bus stop. It is out from the city center, so expect to take the bus. The garden area was beautiful and peaceful. There were no drinks on arrival or breakfast offered, not sure what happened there. I had already gone to the grocery store in the morning for basic items so I didn't ask when I remembered (belatedly) it was supposed to be included.
