Guest Reviews

• Volery (10/5): -
• Daniel (9/5): Estadia muito agradável - O quarto é bem grande e confortável. A vaga de estacionamento fica em frente ao quarto. A anfitriã foi muito simpática, nos dando dicas de passeios e restaurantes. O café da manhã é gostoso, com boas opções de escolha. A hospedagem fica ao lado de um mercado e existem restaurantes nas proximidades. O quarto tem uma cozinha privativa, porém o fogão não estava funcionando. No entanto, isso não foi problema, pois usamos o fogão da cozinha compartilhada.
• Thomas und Stefanie (10/5): - lili war eine super Vermieterin, freundlich, aufgeschlossen und das Frühstück war spitze. Die Unterkunft ist sauber und man hat in der Gemeinschaftsküche alles was man braucht. Die Nähe zu den Aktivitäten ist super. Sehr zu empfehlen.
• Aleksandra (9/5): Práctico, básico y acogedor - Lily es una persona súper amable y competente. A las siete, estaba allí preparando el desayuno como nos dijo. La decoración con recuerdos de los antiguos huéspedes, es súper original. Ofrece lo básico de un Hostel, con todo cubierto, pero a un precio muy razonable. No es muy ruidoso pero puede molestar algún vehículo pasando por la calle, lo cual no fue nuestro caso.
• Giovanni (10/5): Excelente - Un lugar muy limpio y Lily súper agradable 👌
• Alejandro (10/5): Seguro y muuuy limpio 🧹 - La señora es super linda y el desayuno buenisimo. Huevos al gusto, pan tostado o pancakes, con fruta y café todas las mañanas. Llegué resfriado y me hizo upgrade a una habitación con baño propio, muchas gracias! 😊 nada
• Karl (9/5): Eine Topwohnung für wenig Geld. - Für den Preis war die Unterkunft phantastisch. Es hat eigentlich alles gepasst, wir hatten auch Frühstück, war gut. Die Inhaberin war sehr freundlich, hat auch eine Nachttour für uns gebucht. Die Lage der Wohnung war sehr gut, am Rande der Stadt, man konnte zu Fuß ins Zentrum gehen. Es war die billigste Unterkunft die wir in Costa Rica hatten, trotzdem eine gut ausgestattete Küche, Parkplatz vor der Tür und einen kleinen Supermarkt auf der anderen Straßenseite. Es ist keine Klimaanlage in der Wohnung, ist aber dort auch nicht notwendig.
• Tracy (1/5): - the house itself was nice and clean minus the bugs despite being a ways from town with really hard bed and thin walls Not complaining about all the bugs in the room including tarantula because it's Costa Rica nor the fact that the toilet stopped flushing nor that the stove stopped working before I could finish cooking the wasted dinner I bought nor that I was wayy overcharged in currency conversion nor that I agreed to move rooms mid stay to a more expensive unit to accommodate the hosts booking needs, but I am complaining that she tried to charge me almost a day of rent in fees for the things I used totally normally that stopped working then sat there almost an hour waiting for the police to arrive explain to her I did not owe her extra for her non working appliances.
• Henri (8/5): Prima adres - Prijs/kwaliteit, zeer vriendelijke eigenaar/gastvrouw Er hadden wat meer schaaltjes mogen zijn.
• Jake (9/5): - Location is a little bit out of town but the price and value here are impossible to beat. Lily is a wonderful host and the commone space is ample and comfortable. The bedroom was just as advertised and check in was a breeze. Good parking area and I was able to park my motorcycle down the side and out of view.
• Max (8/5): Fijn verblijf - Relax huisje Beetje ver lopen naar het centrum maar dit wisten we.
• Peter (8/5): Clean and good value for the price. - Super friendly hostess. Comfortable bed. Location was walking distance to the town centre and restaurants. Small grocery/convenience store right next door. Minimally allocated bathroom. We had the one room with its own bathroom, but there was nothing to hang towels on, and no place to neatly place toiletries like a typical North American bathroom. Often there were motorcycles driving past fast and very loud in the late evening, so not a peaceful location. A language barrier lead to a misunderstanding about required time for breakfast one day, so we had to arrange our own breakfast at the last minute one day.
• Nadia (8/5): Bon rapport qualité prix avec une hôte incroyable! - Lily est une hôte vraiment super sympathique! Elle cuisine très bien et s’assure qu’on soit confortable. L’emplacement est super. Avec des bouchons d’oreilles, c’était parfait. Très bon rapport qualité prix Le lit était un peu dur.
• Aris (9/5): Très bien pour un passage de 1 ou 2 nuits - Super accueil de Lili, elle nous a fait un vrai café du Costa Rica. Le logement est propre, agréable et proche du centre. Elle a réservé pour nous au dernier moment un trek à El tigre. Top La proximité proche de la route et le bruit des motos ou camions plus les chiens dans la rue.
• Chiao-Ling (6/5): - The price, consider it’s rather cheap in Monteverde The room is beside the road and is always full of loud noises from the cars and barking dogs!! And the window design is really weird, if you want some air in the room then you’ll lose your privacy. And is quite far away from the town although there’s a mini market next to it.
• Golembiewski (10/5): Wunderbar - Die Unterkunft ist klein, aber fein. Lilly kümmert sich gut um ihre Gäste und hat stets ein offenes Ohr. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit eigenem Bad, für zwei Personen und zwei Nächte, absolut ausreichend. Sie hat an jedem Morgen ein schönes, frisches Frühstück für uns gezaubert.
• Vincenzo (9/5): - La atención de Lily es muy buena. Se esmera por hacer sentir a los huéspedes como en casa. El cuarto q tuvimos tenía baño privado, agua caliente. Una almohada extra, la cual para mí es muy importante. El desayuno q da es un desayuno rico. Cabe anotar q es una casa compartida.
• Micaela (10/5): Super recomendado!!! -
• Raquel (8/5): - Un desayuno increible e recient hecho todas las mananas y una acogida inolvidable. Muchisimas gracias !
• Gerard (8/5): 2 nuits confortables à 6 amis et un petit déjeuner servi par Lillie et sa gentillesse - Le côté convivial d’une maison avec 3 chambres plutôt qu’un hôtel Le bruit environnant du supermarché tout proche… mais très pratique
• Pierandrea (10/5): -
• Elena (10/5): Gerne wieder! Lilly ist super :) - Super liebe Gastgeberin die sich Zeit für ihre Gäste nimmt. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Gemeinschaftsbad, das Bad war sauber und unser Zimmer schön.
• Annie (10/5): -
• ELIAS (8/5): -
• Mathilde (10/5): Allez y les yeux fermés ! - Allez-y, les yeux fermés. Lily, l’hôte, est adorable, c’est toujours un plaisir de discuter avec elle le matin pendant qu’elle nous fait de très bons pancakes, elle pourra aussi vous aider à vous organiser pour vos excursions votre départ etc. Le logement est propre. Les chambres sont propres, on se sent comme chez soi. C’est pratique car un supermarché est à côté. Merci pour tout Lili !! Souvenir très précieux.
• Wilmar (10/5): Muy limpio agradable - Buena atencion de Liliiana
• Felix E. (9/5): Schöne Unterkunft mit hilfsbereiter Gastgeberin! - Lily war eine ausgezeichnete Gastgeberin. Wenn man eine Frage hatte, konnte man Sie immer auf WhatsApp erreichen und Sie hat sich direkt um die verschiedensten Dinge (Ausflüge, Taxis, Frühstück,...) gekümmert. Das Haus war angenehm eingerichtet und die Küche lädt zum Kochen ein. Direkt nebenan hat man dafür einen kleinen Supermarkt. Das von Lily zubereitete Frühstück war auch sehr lecker. Auf Wunsch hat Sie mir ein typisches Gallo Pinto gekocht 😃. Falls Wäsche gewaschen werden muss, befindet sich neben dem Haus eine ausreichend große Wäscheleine. Einzig allein die Lage war nicht optimal. Zu Fuß ist es ungefähr 20-25 Minuten in die Stadt und ziemlich bergig (was natürlich zu erwarten war). Mit einem Taxi kommt man für ungefähr 4€ in die Stadt.
• Rafael (10/5): -
• Valérie (9/5): - Lily est vraiment tres sympathique. Le logement était parfait ! Le petit déjeuner fait par Lily !
• KSINTIK (8/5): -
• Luka (7/5): Good budget-friendly option near Monteverde - We enjoyed our stay at this accommodation near Monteverde. It’s located just a few minutes’ drive from the town center and about 20 minutes by car from the Monteverde Cloud Forest, which makes it very convenient if you’re traveling with a car. This is clearly a budget option, so you shouldn’t expect luxury, but for our short stay it had everything we needed. The owner prepares breakfast every morning, which was a really nice touch, and was very helpful in organizing activities such as a visit to the Monteverde Cloud Forest or arranging a coffee tour. We felt well taken care of and appreciated the personal support. On the downside, there isn’t much to criticize as long as you keep in mind that this is a simple, budget accommodation. It feels exactly like that — basic but functional. One small thing was that during a windy night, the noise from the wind was quite noticeable, and at times it even sounded as if the roof might lift off, although of course it didn’t and we had no actual issues. Overall, we had a good stay and would gladly choose this place again when visiting Monteverde.
• Celine (10/5): Un petit coin de bonheur à Monteverde - Tout là propreté de la maison de Lli est tellement chaleureuse place de parking cuisine à dispo et petite épicerie juste en face À réserver absolument si vous passez dans le coin Lili vous fera un petit déjeuner comme à la maison Rien
• Jack (10/5): - Such good value, Lili is amazing. Nothing to complain about 😌
• Giacomo (10/5): - Really cheap, nice, close to Monteverde Reserve: these features would be enough to choose Twin Palms House, but the very special reason to go there is Lily. Always smiling, happy and full of surprises, she was one of the best hosts we had in our 2-weeks trip in Costa Rica. Don't forget to leave a comment on her walls when you're leaving!
• Daniel (10/5): 11/10 - Most helpful and kind host. -
• Laura (7/5): - La atención de Lily es genial y la ubicación para ir luego a Monteverde es muy buena. El desayuno está bien. No había ni un espejo en toda la casa, ni si quiera en el baño. Lily nos explicó que aún están terminando los detalles. Las almohadas son de relleno de cachos.
• Mario (10/5): - Estancia tal y como se describe. Lili es una anfitriona fuera de serie. Si lo contratas, prepara el desayuno y es genial conversar con ella durante ese tiempo. Está bien situado a cinco metros de un supermercado y alejado del bullicio de Monteverde. Un placer
• Marta (10/5): Muy acogedora - Hemos estado muy a gusto. Casa acogedora, limpia y espaciosa. Lily, la propietaria, es un encanto de mujer, muy atenta y simpática, te ayuda en todo lo que necesites. Situación tranquila con un súper al lado, bien comunicada y puedes llegar caminando al centro, restaurantes y tiendas. Inmejorable relación calidad-precio.
• Marta (10/5): - Casita con todo lo necesario y lo mejor: lily. La Chica encargada de la casa es muy amable, nos ha ayudado a reservar los tours y nos preparó el desayuno por la mañana. Un 10!
• Dmitry (10/5): -
• Marta GarcíaMiguel (10/5): Muy a gusto - Lily es un encanto y te ayuda en todo. Se nota que pone mucho amor en lo que hace. Si tienes coche propio está genial. Al ser tan nuevo el apartamento, le salían algunas cosillas, pero Lily hizo todo lo posible por solucionarlo y que estuviéramos a gusto. Si no tenéis coche propio queda un poco lejos del centro del pueblo.
• Schindlecker (9/5): Richtig cool - Die Unterkunft macht aus das sie einzigartig ausschaut, aber auch die Besitzerin Lilly die bei jeder Angelegenheit geholfen hat. Es ist ein Hostel also eher etwas moderat aber für den Preis und die Lage absolut top.
• Patrycja (10/5): Świetne miejsce - Lily jest wspaniałą osobą, uwielbia swoją pracę i ludzi. Bardzo dba o czystość i robi świetne śniadania, urządzając przy tym miłą pogawędkę. Tuż obok hostelu jest supermarket gdzie można kupić wszystko co trzeba. Zdecydowanie warto się tu zatrzymać. Trochę daleko od centrum Santa Elena, ale można zrobić sobie przyjemny spacer ok. 20 min.
• Ruchi (8/5): Good value for money - Good value for what we paid. Host provided good and freshly made breakfast.
• David (10/5): Buena elección! - Situación muy buena con todo lo necesario. Lo mejor el trato y las conversaciones con su anfitriona que hace que la estancia sea más especial. Gracia Lily!!
• cyril (10/5): Bon point de chute à monteverde - Maison de 3 chambres , où on partage la cuisine commune
• Alexander Jose (10/5): Super clean and cozy and I Felt at home! Don’t miss it - Super clean!!! I love the way Lili keeps the house super clean, the blankets in my bed felt super good and I slept very well , I felt at home and to be honest I have been to similar stays and this one stand out in that way and also Lily the owner she’s very friendly, she cooked breakfast for me as well which is super a good deal ! I highly recommend this place!
• Alfonso Javier (9/5): Trato humano inmejorable - Si algo tengo que destacar por encima de todo es el trato que nos dio nuestra anfitriona Lili desde el minuto 1, no sólo preocupándose por hacer nuestra llegada lo más sencilla posible sino también ofreciéndonos información valiosa sobre actividades a realizar en la zona que hizo que nuestra estancia fuera completa. Le puso todo el cariño del mundo al desayuno que disfrutamos charlando con ella. No se portó como una anfitriona más sino que nos mostró su lado más personal y familiar. Somos de conectar con la gente y este punto nos encantó. En cuanto al alojamiento cumplió nuestras expectativas, relación calidad-precio insuperable. La habitación quizás pueda resultar algo ruidosa para los que buscan tranquilidad total porque está al lado de una carretera por la que hay tráfico constante aunque en nuestro caso no mermó el descanso
• Boguslaw (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniela (10/5): Exceptional - Great place, feeling like home, all super clean, i recommend
• Katelyn (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tobias (10/5): Very nice host and perfect base for the Cloud forest. -
• Edan (10/5): Exceptional - Lily the host was super helpful and very kind! She answered professionally any question and organised for us very easily all the activities we want for a good price including transportation to our next destination :)
• Matěj (8/5): Very good - Good value for money, very clean and extremely nice host ready to help with anything and book activities for you with discount. We were in the only room with a window towards the main street and the direction where the wind was blowing from (it can be quite strong in this area). So even during night, it was quite noisy in the room. Except this, all was good.
• Salvatore (9/5): Superb -
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional -
• Manuel (10/5): Cozy and warm little house ! - Great place to stay at in Monteverde, Lily is a very welcoming host, the room was impeccable clean and so was the communal place and kitchen, which is equipped with all that you need, and regularly cleaned. 10/10 will look up to staying there again if I return to Monteverde !
• Lorraine (6/5): Shared accommodation with a communal kitchen, pots not put away from others cooking etc, fridge had raw meat on the shel - Price, parking and a shop next door Bed and pillows were poor quality but for a “hostel” it was ok. Advertised as a lodge not a hostel with shared areas
• Aliz (8/5): Lovely but simple accomodation - Good value for that money. Lily, the host is very friendly, and the coffee is delicious
• Kemperle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yizhen (9/5): Recommend - The house is right next to a family-run shop, you can buy those groceries that you need. Lily is the owner, she is very caring. There was heavy rain while I was staying there, and Lily came to check on me, make sure everything is ok. The kitchen is fully equipped, the neighbors are nice, you can also enjoy the hot shower whenever you want. Monteverde is a popular place among international visitors, so there are many activities offered by the locals, one of which is mountain biking, which causes noise pollution throughout the day, especially at night. It's not the problem from the lodge, it's a public issue from the town. There is no way to hide it, because most of hostels are not soundproof. If you are a light sleeper, just bring earplugs that might help out a little bit.
• Konstanze (9/5): We felt very at home at Lili’s place! We had everything we needed! - Lili was such a nice Host! She was very helpful!
• Rebecca (10/5): Fantastic stay with a wonderful host, would definitely return! - Our host Lily was fantastic, so welcoming and happy to help with anything! She really made our stay great and even provided us with a late check out as we were leaving at 2pm. It’s low season at the moment so we had the place to ourselves, the kitchen was great, had everything we needed and there’s a supermarket right next door. Also had a fridge in our room which was really handy. We did book our tours in advance but we wish we had of booked through Lily as she provides a discount. We loved the personal touches of people who stayed there signing messages on the wall and the hammocks out the back were cute too. It was a bit of a trek from the centre with our big backpacks and lots of hills but the whole area is similar so it’s to be expected.
• Felix (10/5): We had a great stay here! Lily is the best host we ever had it feels like visiting your grandma she is so kind and help - Lily is the best host ever all good
• Hannah (10/5): The place is perfect for groups as it has hostel vibes, but it’s a house just for you! Lily makes you feel right at home - The place is perfect for groups as it has hostel vibes, but it’s a house just for you! Lily makes you feel right at home! We really enjoyed the outdoor area as well, which is simple but great for laying in the hammocks and to sit together for breakfast, dinner …. /
• Lina (10/5): Exceptional - Lili is a wonderful host! We had a lovely stay. Everything was great!
• William (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jiri (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rachel (8/5): Very good - Lily is such a kind and friendly host. She keeps the house immaculate, cleaning especially the kitchen, bathroom, and floors daily. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, cutlery, dishware, glasses/mugs. Tea and coffee was provided as were salt and pepper. Soap and towels were provided for the luke warm shower. The bed was comfortable, as were the linens and pillows. We really appreciate having a desk, shelves, and hanging rack in our room. The wifi worked well. Convenient to have a small, but mighty supermarket next door. Great location to drive to Monteverde Cloud Forest and do a coffee/chocolate tour from. The common living space and kitchen were large enough to share and it was nice to have a TV. No toilet seat in the shared bathroom (just the lid and toilet bowl rim). Would be nice to have oil in the kitchen to cook with.
• Demia (10/5): Exceptional - Lili is a very nice and friendly host. The place is simple but clean and with all the needed facilities, with a shared kitchen and a place to relax with hamocks and a table in the backyard. There is a free parking place just outside the house, which was super convenient. Highly recommended!
• Roy (9/5): You can't find better value for money in Monteverde/Santa Elena - You can't find better value for money in Monteverde/Santa Elena. The host, Lili, goes out of her way to help you. She never intrudes. Delicious free coffee in the morning. Parking at the door, as well as a small supermarket. Close to the village (a steep road though). Shower works very well. Kitchenette where you can make your own breakfast/dinner. Also a common room. Lili also helps to book activities (with discount). On a fairly busy lane. We feared a lot of noise at night, but it wasn't too bad.
• Butterick (10/5): Great value and hospitality - The host, Lilly, was incredibly friendly and generous. She lent us cash until we managed to get to a local bank. Nothing to complain about
• Bruno (10/5): Warm and attentive hospitality in an intimate hostel - Lili is incredibly warm and hospitable! Breakfast was amazing everyday, and the house is clean, tidy and well equipped. Outdoor space with hammocks and car parking is a big bonus. Thanks so much for hosting us! Nothing - actually we would have been very happy to stay longer!
• Lauri (9/5): Superb -
• Annebel (10/5): Lili was such a sweet woman! We really liked our stay at this place. Would recommend! -
• Rosie (9/5): Superb - Loved it here, what a charming, clean, comfortable, and affordable stay in otherwise very expensive Monteverde. Well equipped kitchen, spacious common area, the most powerful (and hot!) shower we've had in 2 months of travelling CA. But the icing on the cake is Lili. She is so warm and kind, and will go out of her way to help you. Monteverde is spectacularly hilly and we knew we couldn't make it to the bus station (30 mins away) for the 4.20am bus with our huge backpacks, Lili was so invested in getting us a ride! Can't recommend her place enough. Nothing. Fab stay.
• Rohan (10/5): Amazing comfortable stay with a lovely lovely host - Lily is an amazing host! Bottom of a very long and steep hill into town! Not a bother really but need to factor in to plans
• Eve (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely host
• Felipe (10/5): Cozy, relaxing and nice. - Excellent service and great place. it was clean and nice, and Lili is a wonderful host. We even broke the bedroom window on our first night at like 4am because someone tripped while getting out of bed, and within a few hours, Lili fixed everything and we had a new window installed in less than 5 hours. It's a great place to stay while traveling to Monteverde. Nothing.
• Megan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Charlotte (9/5): Superb -
• Lobato (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julia (9/5): Great accommodation and great host - Lily was a great host with a big smile. Everything was very clean and you got a lot of storage options. Lily helped out to organize a great coffee tour. You need a car because if you want to go to a restaurant you always have to go uphill.
• P (9/5): Superb - My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in a room with a private bathroom. Lili was fantastic. Eggs or pancakes with fruit are available every morning. Ask her for help booking tours and she will arrange it for you. There is a convenience store right next door and hammocks in the back to relax. It was a little loud due to the room facing the street so bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. The bed was a little a little hard, but overall a great budget booking.
• Edward (10/5): Great - Lili was very helpful and made my stay easy
• Galia (10/5): Exceptional - The place was very clean. Lily the host was great. It's was nice to be in a village
• Anne (8/5): It was a one of a kind place and we liked the “art” walls. - There was a sense of congeniality about the place from the shared conversations about the places the guests had experienced and everyone helped each other with directions and suggestions. Our host, Lili, did everything she could to make our stay comfortable and unforgettable. What a lovely host. It was a little difficult to find.
• Sarah (10/5): Hidden Gem of Monteverde - Twin Palms is an absolute gem of a B&B, and its shining star is Lili! The rooms are clean and comfy with strong WiFi for an extremely reasonable price. Lili is an incredible host who is warm and welcoming, she comes by every morning to cook breakfast for guests and provide suggestions of what to do and help with making arrangements. The Lodge is right next to a grocery/convenience store which does not appear on Google maps but is great for getting snacks and ingredients for cooking for dinner at the Lodge. The area is nice and quiet at night and very safe. Thank you Lili!
• Marion (10/5): Exceptional - Lili was so welcoming and friendly, organised two tours for us within moments of meeting her - great breakfast and comfortable room. Thank you so much Lili
• Estebanmora (10/5): Great place - Excellent location, facilities and atmosphere. Just 10 min walking from the town. The place is clean and has a good equiped kitchen. There is shop open 6-22 just a few step from the place. Lily is an amazing host and is incredible kind and helpful. She made us feel like at home. My girlfriend (Polish) fall in love with the vibe. The place itself exceeded our expectations. Best price-value in the area (even the breakfast is included!). If you want to have a real Costarican experience, this is the place! ¡Gracias Lily!
• Dariusz (10/5): Exceptional - Lili is amazing and very helpful person. You will feel welcome as at home. She is helping a lot in all activities organisation. House has everything you need. Delicious breakfast and great conversation during it 😄. Highly recommended!
• Sara (10/5): Amazing place - Lili is very nice and welcoming and takes care of everything. We could easily book tours and our transfer from La Fortuna to Monteverde with her. Every morning we had a freshly prepared breakfast (toast with egg or pancakes and fruit). The kitchen also has all the utensils you need to cook something. Everything was clean and comfortable. It's a got deal for the price you pay. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. It's a little out of town so you have to walk uphill if you want to go there (but not a big deal since the tours/shuttles pick you up and there is a small supermarket next door).
• Chelsea (10/5): Exceptional - Home away from home! 🏠 🥰 Don’t look any further. This will make your stay in Monteverde everything and more!! A very wholesome home stay. Despite Lily not living here she is always just a text away. Cutest little pink house situated in the mountains a small walk to Monteverde city centre. Very safe neighbourhood. There is a little convenience store next door for any late night snacks. Everything about our stay was perfect. We met some lovely travellers in the other rooms even know it’s a small place it never felt over crowded. Spotlessly clean house- room, common areas, kitchen and bathroom. Kitchen has everything you need to cook a yummy home cooked meal. Lily was AMAZING and nothing was a bother she was always so positive and helpful!! From the delicious breakfast, a washing service, help with booking tours the list goes on. Thanks so much for our beautiful stay. Will recommend to all my friends and family. Grace and Chels xoxo

• Jorn (9/5): Amazing host! - Lili, the host, is amazing. She is really helpful and kind! Lili arranged activities and transportation. We got an upgrade due to a sick person in the booked room. The house was really clean and the bed was comfortable. We also could arrive earlier and depart later. The house was not yet fully equipped. We missed some items such as knives and pots. But when we asked for pots we got them straight away. We did not mind at all because we got a big upgrade and Lili was really flexible by arranging this great stay for us and let the sick person stay.
