The room I got was very small and dark and travelling with a big dog alone, this was not suitable. There are no pictures of this room anywhere. I frequently stay there and usually we get better conditions but I guess summer is a peak season.
Erik's welcome is very nice and sunny. The structure is beautiful and welcoming.
