comfortable bedding early check-in convenient location
i found the bedding comfortable and clean. the staff allowed early check-in which i appreciated. the location was convenient as i was close to the station and town centre.
the tv signal was poor i could not watch anything without constant pixelation i just wanted to relax for a couple of hours.

central location beautiful design well-equipped kitchen street noise poor tv signal low shower head
the location was indeed a treasure , right in the heart of everything. the apartment was beautifully designed , a real treat for the eyes. i especially enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen , it had everything i needed.
the street outside was quite lively , and sometimes the noise did travel into the room. the tv signal wasn't always the best , it made watching movies a bit difficult. i also noticed the shower head was a little low , it wasn't ideal for taller guests.

stylish room clean room helpful information mini fridge
the room was beautifully presented and very clean! i especially appreciated the mini fridge and netflix access. a small terrace offered a great spot for an evening drink, and the information folder with local tips was super helpful. the host even provided books and board games!
the tv signal was a bit weak, and pixelated sometimes, made streaming less enjoyable.
