    Very friendly and welcoming host. Super wood fired sauna in the garden, wonderful massage chair. Great coffee machine.

    We weren’t informed that the host would be staying with us. The floor, surfaces and the main bathroom could be cleaner.

    It was spacious and it had good facilities. It’s nice for family visits.

    for those who want clean accommodation to avoid sleeping in the sweat of the previous guest it is unacceptable room3 bedding impregnated with a horrible smell I tried to communicate by explaining my dissatisfaction here is the response "Hello, I am changing 8 bed covers duvet and 5 sheets up to date, so there is no sweat They are freshly washed I hope you have a good night in the room, which is the cheapest in Porsgrunn :)" I replied ". yes indeed the house is great but it's only the smell of the room and the cushions which smell of perspiration see the smell of the skin the smell of sebum the price is you who set it expensive or cheap that's not the question life is not just a question of money I chose your accommodation because the photos interest me the decor nothing to do with the price I don't look at it when the reservation I invite you to come and feel the cushions, I have not asked you for a refund but a gesture of kindness in thinking that you will come and change the pillows I am also. owner of 3 accommodations on Airbnb and reservation in Paris" the owner never came to meet us we had to sleep dressed in order to leave as quickly as possible because for us we come from Paris far away. I found it a shame of the from this person a small gesture would have been enough "sorry excuse me I will bring you more bed linen and pillow it's simple as an owner but he preferred to talk about money. I didn't want to post a negative comment but without positive action from the owner. the next day we saw that he was living in the guest rooms, he was pretending to be a client, no hello, extremely cold look, look from top to bottom, we met several times in the house without any exchange, nothing. is not possible to accept this, cleanliness comes first in this kind of business. I don't know if in the future this owner will do this again or not at your own risk.

    Belle décoration, dommage

    I recently had the pleasure of staying in a beautiful house with warm and inviting bedrooms. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the overall coziness and comfort of the space. The house itself was stunning, with a charming exterior and well-maintained landscaping. As I entered, I was greeted by a spacious living room with plush couches and a fireplace, perfect for relaxing and unwinding after a long day. The decor was tasteful and added to the overall warmth of the house. The bedrooms were the highlight of my stay. Each one was thoughtfully decorated with soft, comfortable bedding and plenty of pillows. The rooms were also equipped with heaters, ensuring that even on the coldest nights, I was able to stay warm and cozy. I especially appreciated the attention to detail, such as extra blankets and a variety of lighting options, making it easy to create a comfortable and personalized atmosphere. The bathrooms were also well-maintained and had all the necessary amenities. The hot water was plentiful, and the towels were soft and fluffy. I also appreciated the little touches, like scented candles and fresh flowers, that added a touch of luxury to the experience. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything I needed to cook meals, and the dining area was perfect for enjoying them. I loved the large windows that let in plenty of natural light and offered a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Overall, my stay in this house was fantastic. The combination of a beautiful house and warm, inviting bedrooms made for a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a comfortable and cozy place to stay. Whether for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, this house is the perfect choice. I can't wait to come back and enjoy its charm again.

    Comfortable, warm and pleasant hotel. 10 points!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful week! The place is exactly as described, recommended. Short distance to shops and public transport. Nice professional host who deserves all credit, he really tries to help the guests! Fantastic massage chair that even has a heating function and a view of the pool area. Lovely plants and palm trees that create a pleasant atmosphere. Sauna that guests can use whenever it suits them, and bathe in the snow afterwards! The host also offers to fire it up if he is home. Otherwise, he was available in his part of the hotel, if needed. Very nice living room with large aquarium and TV with background lighting. Pleasant international guests. The very pleasant host also makes sure that it is clean and tidy and that the guests have a good time. Lovely organic eggs from the hens in the garden. Very good coffee and tea. Lovely fluffy cat, Pepsik, who was very cuddly and who was mostly outside all day, but came by to say hello and get some cuddles. Delicious aroma from various herbs and essential oils. This is a place where you find peace of mind. Would love to come again with the family!

    Keeping some disposable toothbrush will add value. However it is too much for this cheap cost.

    Calm, close to station, supermarkets nearby within 10 mins walk, sauna and massage chair. Also you can cook your own food is a big plus.

    Very nice and comfortbale home at a very good price. Sauna and pool combination is awesome! Bear in mind that this is basically a private home and there can be more guests at the time, but taking into account value for money ratio, it's really worth even a longer stay.

    The room is big, very clean and comfortable. The bed and the mattrasses are great. We used the kitchen and the living room. It is a very nice house. It has everything that we needed. The host is very welcoming as well. You can take a bus to go to the center city and the university, but I preferred to walk. The house is in a nice environment, 20 minutes walk from the center.
