The apartment is very close to the town. We really enjoyed our stay. Never saw an available parking place on the road all week.

However, one/two small complaints. Small being the operative word: the bed is too small, as is the settee. But looking forward to next year already.

I found socks in a bedside drawer and a piece of clothing in another drawer. Also a blister pack of pills lying on the floor. The hair dryer nozzle was covered in hairs and sticky residue. Bed headboard and other wooden fittings had thick layer of dust on them. Really not good enough! The towels were very small and only one each. Not really enough for a week. Plus nowhere to dry them!
