The location was peaceful with onsite free parking. i walked into the town twice. Taxis were available when needed. the apartment was spacious (it was a ground floor, one bedroom apartment) and had a lovely outdoor seating area.

adequate stay, but some issues noted

small bed insufficient soundproofing

the location offers a convenient bus stop just outside. the reception staff were helpful.

The bed was far too small for two people. It felt more like a large single than a double. i could hear every noise from the hallway (guests coming and going kept me awake during the night). this lack of soundproofing is not acceptable.
