Sara & Paul’s place was amazing.
Sara & Paul’s place was amazing. Home away from home, it’s safe with beautiful surroundings. Inside it is comfortable and clean with fast wifi - with everything you need to sit back relax and enjoy your break.Sara was at hand at all times of the day for any questions or help, her and paul were very welcoming and friendly, always shooting a wave or a hi when they seen me entering or leaving.If I could move in permanently I would!
