A few small things, still lovely
Water pressure was a bit low in the evenings, but Ardit fixed what they could right away. The history and the view more than made up for it.

Exactly like the photos, only better
Spotless when we arrived and Ardit had left fruit and water in the fridge. We loved the view and extended by two nights.
