Loved the location, - quiet, serene and well away from all bustle of city life. Despite the retreat-feel, it's still easy to get to/from with public transportation. (The train station is just outside the house).
The apartment (which is the top floor of the house the owners live in) is very nice and comes with a well-equipped kitchen, and it has a great balcony to sit and relax on. The host(Marine) was very friendly and quick in all communication. It almost felt like one was staying at a friend's place.
The only drawback I can think of is the wooden floors that make noise as you walk on them. I would normally practice yoga early morning, but couldn't make myself do it here as it may have woken up the family downstairs. (I never checked with the host though).
All in all, the place has my highest recommendations. Thank you Marine!
