Es fehlte eigentlich an nichts. Was aus Pros: Die Wohnung war sehr schön hell und freundlich eingerichtet. Es fehlte eigentlich an nichts. Was aus meiner Sicht leider nicht stimmte ist, dass sie barrierefrei ist. An der Haustür war eine hohe Stufe und zusätzlich noch eine Kante an der Türschwelle. Im Badezimmer fehlten meines Erachtens Haltegriffe an der Toilette. Noch eine Stufe mit der Kante an der Türschwelle befand sich nach draußen auf die Terrasse. Die Schlafzimmer waren mit einem normalen Rollstuhl auch nicht wirklich befahrbar. Für einen Rollstuhlfahrer ist aus meiner Sicht die Wohnung nicht ohne Begleitung zu bewohnen. Ich war zum Glück mit meiner Frau und dem Schwiegervater dort, die mir helfen konnten. Trotzdem haben diese Umstände meine Laune etwas getrübt. Auf mich alleine gestellt hätte ich die Reise direkt wieder abbrechen müssen.

Die Wohnung ist groß, hell, sauber und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die Lage der Terrasse ist toll. Wir waren Anfang April dort und an einem Sonnentag hatten wir von ca. 9 bis 18 Uhr Sonne auf der Terrasse. Ich werde noch mal wiederkommen!

Hier fehlt es an wirklich gar nichts. Alles ist bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht, sogar ein Klapprad steht zur Verfügung um sich morgens leckere Brötchen aus dem verträumten Örtchen zu holen. Alles in einem kann man nur sagen: "die Wohnung ist spitze." ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Limerick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Limerick-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel-Spa.h898071.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Chelsea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chelsea-London-Hotels.0-n6054502-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d178280-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [El Dorado Royale, Catamaran, Cenote, All & More Inclusive Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-El-Dorado-Royale.h916205.Hotel-Information) > > [Sol Tropikal Durres](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Durres-Hotels-Sol-Tropikal-Durres.h5333939.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Nairobi Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nairobi-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Nairobi-Airport.h19663206.Hotel-Information) > > [King Street Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-King-Street-Townhouse.h12761140.Hotel-Information) > > [Sorrento Dream](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sorrento-Hotels-Sorrento-Dream-Resort.h26959333.Hotel-Information) > > [Crete Golf Club Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Crete-Golf-Club-Hotel.h22748806.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Stansted](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stansted-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d6189-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Bruce Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Hotels-The-Bruce-Hotel.h120025.Hotel-Information) > > [Roda Beach Resort & Spa All-inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Roda-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2591073.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florida-Villas.d211-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Settle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Settle-Hotels.d6084817.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Lake Constance](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Constance-Hotels.d6050700.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Down Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bishops-Stortford-Hotels-Down-Hall-Hotel.h19606.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Club mmv Altitude Arc 2000](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bourg-Saint-Maurice-Hotels-Hotel-Club-Mmv-Altitude-Arc-2000.h4258381.Hotel-Information) > > [Résidence Le Sun Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Plagne-Tarentaise-Hotels-Residence-Le-Sun-Valley.h2108933.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Palma de Mallorca](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palma-De-Mallorca-Hotels.d2829.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Hurghada (HRG) to Cairo (CAI)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hrg/cai/hurghada-to-cairo) > > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Ballasalla (IOM)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/iom/edinburgh-to-isle-of-man) > > [Flights from George Town (GCM) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gcm/lax/george-town-to-los-angeles) ### Cars > [Car hire in Stalybridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Stalybridge.d6004295.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in Gallipoli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Gallipoli.d603111.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages ### General ---
