A microwave, a toaster and fridge are also available, as well as a coffee machine and a kettle. At the homestay, every unit is equipped with bed linen and towels.

Yvonne and Wesley are the perfect hosts. We had the whole downstairs which is large. The kitchenette has all that is needed to cook but any complicated cooking, was done in the main kitchen. The whole stay was very comfortable. Yvonne and Wesley go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and pleasant. They really make you feel, part of the family.

    It's a homestay in the quiet residential area not far from the train station. Very quiet and clean place, spacious room with a big comfortable bed and huge closet for the clothes and stuff. You can use the kitchen, fridge and washing machine and hang out in the two common areas. Owner was really friendly and made me feel like at home. I was the only guest at the time so I felt totally free and undisturbed. Definitely recommend if you want to feel like at home not in the hotel.
