    “Das Haus befindet sich in einem sehr gepflegten Zustand. Wohnzimmer und die modern und gut ausgestattete Küche befinden sich oben im Eingangsgeschoss. Die beiden Bäder und das Schlafzimmer befinden sich in der unteren Etage, wie auch der Ausgang zur Terrasse.
    Das Haus ist leider durch die kleinen Fenster extrem dunkel. Die Temperatur lässt sich allerdings durch 2 Klimaanlagen (pro Stockwerk eine) gut regulieren. Für normalwüchsige Menschen sind die Betten hochproblematisch. Im Zwei-Personen-Bett findet nur eine Person Platz und das zweite Bett ist eher eine Pritsche. Hier sind Rückenschmerzen vorprogrammiert.”

    “Ruim en rustig gelegen huisje. Keuken en badkamer zijn prima. Heerlijk overdekt terras met prachtig uitzicht op berglandschap. Nadelen zijn dat de woonkamer maar één klein raam heeft, waardoor die kamer nogal donker is. Deuropeningen zijn laag voor de gemiddelde Nederlander, hoog kopstoot-risico. Het huisje ligt pal naast een charmant kerkje, waarvan de klok echter tussen 7 en 21 uur elk half uur electronisch slaat.”
