NL21081The communication went smoothly and communication was also possible during the exchange if necessary. A lovely house close to the center. We cycled to the center every day. The best experiences with regard to the house were the expresso machine and perhaps even more so the coffee grinder that is almost silent. In addition, we have become attached to the shaved ice that comes out of the fridge and the beautiful soda glasses in which you put the shaved ice. A super nice family & house to trade with.
