Wonderful and Cute Stay

The location was convenient. It was a short walk to the railway station and city center! Free car parking at the back was appreciated though it felt a little tight. The owners were lovely and helpful. I left my luggage with them on my departure day, I appreciate that. The WiFi connection was strong and reliable .
The shower temperature was tepid. I would have liked hotter water. This impacted my experience a bit. everything else was satisfactory.

short walktepid waterthin walls
the location was decent! it was only a short walk to the train station.
The water in the shower was barely lukewarm, not hot at all. this was a real letdown, especially after a long day. I expect a hot shower, not a tepid one. also, the walls were thin, and i could hear noise from the hallway, hard to relax. the gas heating was completely turned off!
