the location was very convenient. it was a short walk to various shops and restaurants. parking was available directly outside the hotel. i found the kitchen to be fully equipped with all necessary appliances. i liked having tea, coffee, hot chocolate and fresh milk available.
Soundproofing was not perfect. I could occasionally hear other guests. this was a minor distraction, though.

Paul was quick to answer our questions. He seemed personable. The location is a reasonable walk from the town center. The house provides a fully equipped kitchen for longer stays.
Coffee-making facilities were not available in the room. I had to go downstairs to heat water. The tv looked unconnected. I couldn't connect it to the network.
