Allerdings störten uns nur kleine Details:Aus dem Inserat ging hervor, dass bspw. Gewürze und Backpapier vorhanden sein sollten. Dem war leider nicht so. Auch gehört für mich ein kostenloser Stellplatz standardmäßig zu einer Wohnung und muss im ländlichen Bereich nicht separat und kostenpflichtig gebucht werden. Teilweise nicht sauber genug (Kissenbezüge). ##### Michael W. Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dominic E. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Eine sehr schoene Wohnung, jedoch - meiner Meinung nach - zu eng fuer vier Erwachsene. Nicht genug Bettzeug vorhanden fuer vier Personen.Ansonsten sehr gut ausgestattet. Eine einfache Bedienungsanleitung fuer den Herd waere gut gewesen. Wir mussten sie im Internet suchen. Vielleicht koennte man der Ausstattung einen kleinen Mikrowellenofen hinzufuegen?Die LIchtschalter waren etwas verwirrend.Die Dusche war wunderbar. ##### Dominic E.
