A double-size sofa bed in the living area can also be prepared on request for an additional fee, adding flexibility to your stay. The main bathroom includes a walk-in shower and a clean, modern finish, complemented by an additional powder room for added convenience.



A full laundry with a washer, dryer, sink and storage makes longer stays easy, while thoughtful extras such as Wi-Fi, board games and children’s books add to the home’s practical, family-friendly appeal.
