The hotel's proximity to the railway station was a bonus for me. The reception staff and the cafeteria lady were very kind. They seemed to enjoy their work, and I felt supported. I have received the information that I requested.

The apartment is very spacious: large living room, nice balcony, large bedrooms. The location is ideal: within walking distance to centre and to the lake. Three supermarkets quite close. Lots of storage space. Livingroom had a large flat screen TV, large sofa and a large table. Host was available by phone and Whatsup (although not always able to help - see next section) As we arrived early (train schedule), the host was kind to let us leave the luggage in the apt while it was being cleaned.

Great location, and one of the few "budget" options in this area. There were many people checking in at the same time, but they were working really fast and making sure everyone gets their room as quick as possible. Great working team.
