It was a wonderful place to take a break during our trip. Being an apartment meant we could relax without being on our bed. Our planned rest and laundry days were wonderful. The apartment had everything we needed.

Disappointed

Very disappointed with the view from the apartment. We looked onto an unfinished wall with a row of apartments looking straight into ours. Not as we expected from the marketing pictures. So, we’re to keep the blinds down for any privacy. I had envisaged relaxing with a nice view. Also very noisy with people moving around in other apartments.

Perfect Stay

This was an extremely spacious and comfortable apartment. Tastefully decorated with plenty of storage space. Receptionist kindly changed our booking to another apartment with not so many stairs and a lake view. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and good-sized bathroom. Restaurants in walking distance and right near the lake.
