Very clean and well thought out. Attention to detail was excellent. We stayed in Algeria which had plenty of space and wonderful views across the bay.

Every Detail is so thoroughly thought through: From Coffee (three different brewing possibilities) via Adapter, waterresistant hikingcards...I could continue forever. Goes without saying that it is immaculate clean. The view is amazing. Sonja&Filip are really good hosts with perfect travel tips! Thank you!
