Reviews
Overall the whole building is very well maintained and clean. The kitchen is quite small for the amount of people that can stay here, but otherwise very well equipped.
There are plenty of showers and toilets, all in great shape!
Our room was super small, no place whatsoever to put our bags. Very inconvenient if you stay longer than 1 night.
The downside of the proximity to the city center is that there can be quite some noise from the city.
The only drawback is that the sound insulation needs to be improved.
But as a homestay, the environment is very good, very close to the city center, parking and shopping are very convenient!
