Spacious Classic Home + Private Studio *BIG-YARD*
I had a wonderful stay at Sylvia’s place! From the moment I arrived, everything was just as described—clean, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared. Sylvia was an outstanding host: warm, responsive, and incredibly helpful with local tips and recommendations. You can tell she really cares about her guests having a great experience. The space itself was peaceful and well-equipped, with all the little touches that made it feel like a home away from home. I especially appreciated how quiet the area was, while still being close to everything I needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you, Sylvia, for being such a fantastic host!
