"Todella tunnelmallinen hostelli, joka vetää puoleensa ihania ihmisiä!"

10.0

Kaikkien kasvien keskellä paikka on kuin ihan omassa maailmassaan. Talo on tunnelmallinen; korkeat huoneet, omaperäinen sisustus, parveke ja paljon kasveja ympärillä sekä mukavat yhteiset tilat. Jokaisella on oma sänky, ei kerrossänkyjä.
