A most excellent stay!
We were charmed the moment we walked onto the property. Even before that because of Emmy’s wonderful communication. She was helpful and friendly throughout our whole stay, even at times went out of her way. We arrived late and she left instructions for self check in, which were complete and easy. Even in the dark, our rooms were inviting because of the welcoming lighting left on for us. Decor was tasteful and everything felt relaxed. Location is great. We’d love to return and will recommend to others.
Couldn’t cast/airplay to the tv (user error maybe?). We had to walk a ways to reach the Red On/Off bus.

Eine charmante Wohnung mit einer liebevollen Gastgeberin
Emmy ist eine unglaublich herzliche und gastfreundliche Gastgeberin. Sie hat uns den Aufenthalt von Anfang an sehr angenehm gemacht. Die Anreise, das Parken und der Check-in haben reibungslos funktioniert. Auf Nachfrage konnten wir sogar etwas früher einchecken als ursprünglich vorgesehen. Außerdem hat Emmy uns tolle Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben. Die Wohnung ist mit viel Charme eingerichtet und hat eine gemütliche Atmosphäre, die Geschichte erzählt. Sie ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Es war alles vorhanden, was wir für unseren Aufenthalt gebraucht haben. Sogar Tee und Kaffee standen bereit und Emmy hatte extra etwas Milch in den Kühlschrank gestellt. Eine wirklich nette Aufmerksamkeit! Auch die Lage ist ideal, um Ausflüge in die Umgebung zu unternehmen.
Wer sehr geräuschempfindlich ist, sollte wissen, dass die Straße auch abends und nachts recht deutlich zu hören ist. Uns ist der Verkehrslärm ebenfalls aufgefallen. Bei der zentralen Lage ist das allerdings wenig überraschend.

Geweldig verblijf!
Locatie was geweldig en host en faciliteiten ook top! Alles was goed schoon en werd elke dag schoongemaakt. Dicht bij Kloofstreet in een relatief veilige buurt.
Niets!
