Hygge House - Cozy Comfort & Nature Escape
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (1)
"Such a cool place! Gorgeous interior designs and very comfortable. It felt like being in a museum with walls full of art, crystal chandeliers and antiques. We had the botanical room and it was fun and upbeat. It was a small room but still comfortable. The bed was so soft it was difficult to get in and out of it, but otherwise we really enjoyed it. The exterior is very cool as an historic property. The neighborhood feels a bit neglected but the property itself is great. We stayed here to travel...
