A lovely, calm oasis tucked into a quiet neighborhood
This charming, comfortable, well-appointed apartment is the literal definition of getting away from it all. This spacious one-bedroom quiet, cool enclave nestled beneath the hosts' home was perfect for us two over a three-day weekend in mid June. The place was so cool that we were happy to turn up the heat overnight. The kitchen and bedroom windows of this basement space look out to a covered patio and well-tended garden and yard. With the blinds closed the place stays very dark and restful. We were lazybones and slept very late. Our hosts were quiet as dormice at night.
In the evening we happily snuggled on the cushy L-shaped sofa to enjoy our current Netflix binge via the hosts' guest account. We found a tray of chocolates and a binder containing very helpful tips about local activities, eateries and watering holes. The author obviously had my number! Among several good options the notes highlighted good coffee, good beer, burgers and fish and chips.
A stacked washer and dryer in the large bathroom is a nice touch. There is a shower in the bathroom and that was just fine for us. Waste water from the bathroom is run through a clever pump system which will make a little noise now and again and one quickly gets accustomed to that.
Our hosts were unfailingly gracious and attentive. We received clear check-in instructions via email and were able to stay in touch via text and email. A wonderful stay and we will happily return!
