    The apartment is very spacious: large living room, nice balcony, large bedrooms. The location is ideal: within walking distance to centre and to the lake. Three supermarkets quite close. Lots of storage space. Livingroom had a large flat screen TV, large sofa and a large table. Host was available by phone and Whatsup (although not always able to help - see next section) As we arrived early (train schedule), the host was kind to let us leave the luggage in the apt while it was being cleaned.
