Nik was very helpful throughout the stay. Just what we needed for a great short break away. The sofa and beds were as per the property description. We really enjoyed our time over this way and would love to be back again soon âºï¸

We were a little disappointed that the pub below was closed while we were visiting, as we were looking forward to sampling the German food ( maybe next time) The apartment had everything we needed, the only downfall was the beds and sofa were very uncomfortable. Having said that we would visit again.
