This small and pristine clean apartment is a peaceful gem above the city, with a magnificent view to the lake. The apartment has a kettle, a microwave oven and a fridge to ensure a comfortable stay even for a longer period of time. If the weather is good, there is a nice terrace in the building to enjoy the view. And if the weather doesn't play along, the terrace is a good place for admiring rainbows in the evening sun. The host Giselle is super friendly and helpful.

Everything. Our hosts went out of their way to be welcoming, friendly and to cater for our needs as travellers. They took their time to carefully explain everything we needed to know about the accomodation and tips for the town including maps. They always greeted us with warmth. The location was excellent in the old town and close to everything without being too busy.

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.
