    They just need to update their address on Google Map, got lost a bit. The location is beautiful though, just a small minor fix of the GPS coordinates.

    The hosts were very kind and I hope to come back for a longer stay. A big thank you for making arrangements for my colleague as well. They went above and beyond. The loft rooms are beautiful and have all amenities I would expect in a small boutique hotel.

    Can't think of what I didn't like. Bathroom is on the small side, nevertheless, big enough and well equipped.

    accommodation is comfortable, clean, homely, lovingly decorated without being too twee, offers lots of extras and most importantly for me, has a beautiful outside space, a private balcony. Although not on the beach front, it is close enough to comfortably walk there. Nice neighbourhood.

    Nothing, everything was perfect !

    Wilna thought of everything (-: Beautiful rooms and bathrooms, lovely balcony, even cheese and biscuits and a bottle of wine, then I really enjoyed the muesli and yoghurt with a pot of fresh coffee after my run in the morning. We were 4 ladies travelling together, so booked the 2 loft rooms, which she opened up so we felt like we were in 1 house, and the bed set up suited us perfectly.

    Absolutely zero flaws, it was perfection from start to finish.

    Everything was exceptional! From the warm and welcoming hosts, to the beautifully decorated apartment, breakfast goodies and special personal touches, we absolutely loved our stay and we will most definitely be back. Wilna is an amazing, kind and warm-hearted host - she and her family are exceptional people and we loved getting to know them while meandering around this beautiful seaside town.

    There wasn't much not to like. What we would suggest as an improvement for the space is a more comfortable mattress for the single bed. Other than that it was excellent.

    We loved the space, decor, and amenities for each one of us as guests. The location was close to restaurants and on a clear evening we could walk to any one of our choice. Even driving takes 1min or two. Our host Wilna was really special, she welcomed us well and shared good tips of where to go and enjoy the space in Paternoster. She was friendly, and genuine and carried herself with a sincerity that you would desire from a host. We enjoyed interacting with her.
