Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt und können die Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Alles war sehr sauber, ordentlich und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Ausstattung ist hochwertig und die Räume sind großzügig geschnitten, sodass man sich sofort wohlfühlt.Besonders gefallen hat uns der schöne Ausblick sowie die durchdachte Ausstattung. Es war wirklich alles vorhanden, was man für den täglichen Bedarf benötigt – sowohl Einrichtung der Küche, Lebensmittel als auch Hygieneartikel, was nicht selbstverständlich ist und den Aufenthalt sehr angenehm gemacht hat.Eine rundum tolle Unterkunft mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
