Nice Appartment
My two daughters and myself stayed in this Appartment for 10 days. Manuela picked our lugage up from the station, wich was very kind (if the car would have been big enough, she would have picked us up also). So we walked about 10 Minutes from the station to get to the house. It was all nice and clean, some drinkingwater was allready there for us, also some fruits and the fireplace ready to light a fire. It is also nice to find real Art from a frind of Manuela on the walls and not just some Posters. We enjoyed having wireless lan there, good Pillows and also some more pillows in the cubbord for people who like more than one. We realy enjoyed the stay there and you could not find a better Landlady than Manuela! The day we left we ordered a taxi to pick us up and Manuelas mother was waiting in front of the door so the taxi would defenetly find the right house and waits for us. That was realy nice! Alltogeather we have to say it was great to have stayed there! We will defenetly be back! If you are going to stay there, for sure you will have a good time, and if you have any questions beforehand, Manuela answers Emails usualy the same day you send them and she will do the best to make you comfortable, thats for sure! Thank you for everything!! Good price - good value!! Lovely people!! Our Recommendation!!
