Even before arriving, Sonja was super cordial and hospitable. She speaks great English and is very friendly and communicative. We stayed with a large group of friends over new year's, and although it was quite cold outside, the heating worked impeccably and we immediately felt right at home. There are a few small things you should be aware of: There is a security deposit to be paid in cash (which was returned without a hitch at the end of our stay). Furthermore, the address is not correct on Google Maps. I recommend contacting Sonja beforehand and asking for directions, as we did spend quite a bit of time trying to find the place. Ample parking is available and the kitchen was well equipped, along with some cute welcome gifts supplied by Sonja and her boys. All in all, we had a marvelous experience and are looking forward to returning again soon!
