Firstly I must commend Jan on his communication. Even with the 7hr time difference it seemed like he never slept! In addition, the amount of information he provided not only about his cottage but the surrounding area, how to get there, which buses/taxi's, made it all so easy. He really has gone above and beyond to help his guests even before they get there!
The cottage itself is old but charming. As with many of the neighbouring cottages you can see a lot has been done to restore and maintain them. The area is definitely not a tourist area with very little English but everyone one appreciated my attempts to speak and were happy to help. Just a note about the market. Keep an eye on what the charge. On three separate occasions during my week there, products were priced for example 2.55 E/kg and they would charge me 3.55 E. Very apologetic when I pointed it out but by the 3rd time I was not amused.
Buses and taxis are easy and quite cheap but it's a nice walk into the old town if you feel that fit.
