Nette Gastgeberin, gute Lage. Allerdings ist das Haus sehr alt und abgewohnt und dringend renovierungsbedürftig. Überall ist was gebrochen oder kaputt. Auch wenn sie die Gastgeberin Mühe gibt das alte ordentlich zu machen, fanden wir eher es ging ins das Unappetitliche. Für Allergiker eine Katastrophe! Wir hatten das Appartment mit ausziehbaren Sesseln zum Schlafen (3+4 Person) und die waren leider unzumutbar! Sind einen Tag eher abgereist.

Do not book this property. The listing images appear to be completely fabricated using AI generation or extreme digital enhancement and they look absolutely nothing like the reality. The entire property has a heavy, overwhelming smell of damp, making it a major health hazard and an absolute scam. There was extensive black mold covering the entire side of the bed base covered over with a sheet, mold on the shower curtain and active water damage on the bathroom ceiling and the wallpaper has been painted over and is coming off the wall due likely due to severe dampness. The listing completely omits critical details: the bathroom is actually located outside, entirely opposite the room, which was never mentioned online. On top of that, the host completely rations basic amenities - we were left with only one toilet roll and one single small towel each just to shower with. The room itself is heavily scuffed, worn and completely unmaintained. We checked out immediately after discovering the mould for our own health and safety. To make matters worse, the host refused a full refund and tried to offer a pathetic £50 token refund for a two-night stay which I am currently appealing. Expedia has been notified with full photographic and video evidence of the entire property. Avoid this place at all costs!
