To those who reside in the heart before the room it wasn't an ordinary stay; it was a true journey of happiness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. The hotel is undoubtedly beautiful, but what truly made the experience magical was you. Every single member kindness, genuine smiles, and beautiful spirits. thank you especially for the joy you added to my little son's heart, [jaber]. You made him feel important and cared for, and his happiness was the greatest gift we could have received. The memories of his laughter at your hotel will remain cherished in our hearts forever. You don't just provide hotel service; you provide a warmth and a feeling of home that made us feel like we were among our family🤝😁

The location is unbeatable, walking distance to all the amenities and restaurants yet still the apartment and area is very quiet at night. The hosts, Marlize and Andre, were super friendly and went out of their way to give restaurant recommendations, day excursions etc and to make us feel at home. The apartment has all that you need for both a short and longterm stay, with parking right in front of the unit. We had a really lovely stay and would recommend to our family and friends.
