The apartment was a little hard to find as I arrived at night but once I figured it out it was fine. It is an easy walk into town and an easy drive to get places. It is situated on the river, and you get a nice view from the bedroom but unfortunately not from the downstairs. The place was quite clean with limited decorations. Sadly, I was only there for a short time so did not really have time to enjoy the area as much as I would have liked.

The place was smaller than we expected both units had many issues. This caused the stay to be less then desirable. The owner did communicate well. We did move to another unit but this was again less then desirable.

Cute historic apartment with all of the essentials. We enjoyed the kayaks and swimming in the lake. As stated in the description the lake access is on a steep hill and there are steep stairs to the bedroom (the bathroom is on the ground level) so keep that in mind when booking.
