We had plenty of space for our stuff. The host was super nice, and answered us in the second we needed something.

Supermarket Kaufland and the train stations are just 10 mins away by walk. The hosts are the most kindest people I’ve ever met. They communicated well from the start and provided anything that was needed. The apartment is so well designed and decorated that everybody will enjoy their stay here. Ideal also for family stay.
