Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Hermann-Josef J. 26 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Kurzurlaub Im Großen und Ganzen waren wir mit unserer Unterkunft sehr zufrieden. Statt, wie auf dem Foto zwei 2er Sofas in der linken Ecke, gab es ein großes Sofa mit einem Otomanen. Für uns war das sehr angenehm! Die Küche hatte alles, was wir gebraucht haben. Ein Kritikpunkt gibt es. Für ältere oder rückengeplagte Menschen ist das Schlafzimmer leider nicht geeignet. Die Matratzen müssten getauscht werden und der Einstieg ins Bett ist viel zu schmal. Man muss von vorne ins Bett steigen. Das ist eher was für jüngere Leute. Ein Fenster im Schlafzimmer wäre auch schön. Deshalb konnten wir nur 4 Sterne geben. ##### Hermann-Josef J.

We chose the location so we could do day trips to Hamburg, Luebeck, Bremerhaven and more. The apt. was clean and comfortable and decorated very tastefully. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need for cooking but we usually just cooked breakfasts. It was very sound proof as we never heard the other tenants. We had our own parking spot and outdoor table and chairs. A couple of days it got warm and was a bit warm in the house. There was a fan in the bedroom that helped, but ceiling fans would have been nice. Andrea and Jorg, the owners were great! Very nice and accommodating people and we enjoyed our conversations with them. We enjoyed them and their apartment. I highly recommend! ##### Deb H.
