längerer Aufenthalt sehr genossen

Die anfänglich sehr schöne Wohnung ist zwar etwas in die Jahre gekommen, wird aber demnächst saniert. Dennoch genossen wir die wohlige Atmospähre. Die Präsentation ums Haus und der Hauseingang inkl. Treppe sollten Einladender gestalten werden.

Super Erlebnis

Guten Tag Ich fand den Aufenthalt wirklich super schön. Das einzige was man verbessern könnte, wäre die Kommunikation vor dem Aufenthalt. Wir hatten keine genaue Adresse der Unterkunft und die Anrufe von uns wurden nicht beantwortet. Zudem war die Matratze sehr hart vom Doppelbett. Anonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden.
