The location was really close to everything, like the bus station and the city center. The hosts gave great tips. That was very helpful. Late check-in was arranged for me, and it was convenient. The hosts helped me find good places for car rentals.

Breakfast was simple. I wished there was more variety. I really wanted a coffee. The parking situation was difficult. The public parking was full, with no reserved spots.
