Un'oasi di pace a pochi passi dalla metro

Il giardino interno con gli 🐿️. La tranquillità, la vicinanza alla metro e il bar dove poter mangiare e bere a prezzi ragionevoli.

Mooie tuin

− De randen in de douche waren gewoon bruin onderaan. Zo ook hoop je toch ergs on bacon te kunnen krijgen bij ontbijt…. Je betaald genoeg voor het onderkomen incl. ontbijt.
