I didn't come to SD for a holiday but even so, Franz's place has a nice beach house feel about it - some bits are improvised and work in progress, but everything I needed was there and worked and I loved it. Bed and lounge chair were comfy. Franz is really respectful of your privacy but is also a really nice guy with plenty of local information and very willing to help. The neighbourhood is nice and felt very safe. Many of it are younger folk and it feels lively. Would definitely stay in the area and at Franz's place again. One piece of advice to future guests: The information booklet tells you how to turn off the sensor light outside the window - you really want to do that before you go to bed or it can wake you up a few times at night.
