Unlocked door through most of our stay

Our electric doorlock died not long into our stay so we had to leave the flat unlocked everytime we left for most of our trip or risk being locked out. The management was unable to get someone in to change the batteries for the duration of our trip.

Hamm Thanksgiving Dinner

We had a thanks giving dinner with our Adult children. Room was perfect and liked the open lay out between dining and living room. One thing that was missing was no dish cloths or dish towels or dishwasher soap. Also I think I left my Apple Watch there. Could you check with cleaning people and see if they found it. Thank you.

I’ll definitely be staying again!

Where do I even begin? My stay was nothing short of amazing. If I had the chance, I would’ve extended my time without hesitation. The directions were clear, and while the property can be a bit of a maze to find, the journey was well worth it. The layout of the space was thoughtfully designed, making it feel like a true home away from home. I can’t wait to return and hope it will be available for me and my family again in the future. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
