About the host
Hosted by Pia
We’re a relaxed family of three living life with heart and humor. Our 7-year-old son is full of energy & absolutely loves sports—whether he's kicking a ball, racing around, or inventing his own games. We’re non-smokers and non-drinkers, and we find joy in the simple things: fresh air, nature walks, and sharing a good laugh together. Whether it’s exploring the outdoors or cozying up for a silly movie night, we create loving moments for our family.
Why they chose this property
Quiet and peaceful neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
We're offering a room perfect for solo travellers that features a comfy King Single bed, and while it’s compact, it has everything you need for a good night’s rest. You'll be sharing the lounge, dining area, toilet, and bathroom with us, but we respect your privacy and aim to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
