This place would be great if they refurnished it with comfortable bedding and living room furniture. We paid extra for a 6 th person that had to sleep on a very small and hard futon bed and were not left with any bedding for it. There was major construction literally right out the front door and out the back that we were not told about before booking and arriving. The refrigerators door would not stay closed and had to push a chair against it to keep it closed. If you want a place that has the cheapest furniture, beds and bedding not enough towels and construction out your front door this is the place.

Very disappointed at the noise. We should have been informed that there was major construction going on in both the front and the back of the property. It woke us up extremely early (starting at 6:30 am)! We registered as a party of 5, but there was not enough towels for everyone and there was absolutely no toiletries. The beds and pillows were awful. We’ve stayed in 3 different vrbo’s on this European vacation, and this was by far the most disappointing. Not much care or thought for the traveler was put into this location. I look forward to hearing how much I will be refunded for this very uncomfortable stay.

When we arrived at 3pm the flat had not been cleaned or changed the beds. There wouldn’t have been enough plates if six people were staying in the flat. The grouting in the bathroom needs a good clean/replacing. The flat itself was in a great location with plenty of restaurants and eateries close by. Great view from the bedrooms of the castle.
