Comfortable and convenient

We stayed here for a week during spring break and had a wonderful time. The apartment is so close to the train station and many cute restaurants and coffee shops. The beds were so comfortable! That is always my biggest worry but thankfully they were perfect.

The host was very courteous and responsive. He met me at the property for entrance. It was a little cold for our taste, but that is more common in Europe. One thing we would have loved is a place to sit and read or talk. The lighting was very low in the apt. Otherwise, comfortable beds, great location and good host.
